------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Inaugural Transit of Venus Real Ale competition is an open class brewing competition.
Any style, any class, (However, please try to ensure your beer is made with hops that will be easily available, commercially )
Deadline for registration 1st June 2012
To register email [email protected]
Entry to the competition is FREE
2 x 500ml gold crown corked brown bottles
Entries can be brought on the day no later than 2pm or delivered to Arkwrightâs brewery by 2nd June.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A selection of Arkwrightâs ales and food available on the day.
The winning brewer will receive a trophy and have their name engraved on The Transit of Venus Trophy - which doubles as a time capsule to hold the winning recipe. The trophy will have plaques pre-engraved with the dates of the next 2000 years worth of transits. The idea being that this competition becomes a tradition and takes place in a transit year. The winning beer will be produced commercially by Arkwrightâs brewery and form part of a limited edition box set of 3 Transit ales. This will be a collaboration between the winning brewer, Arkwrightâs brewery and David Henckel.
This is probably the last transit in our lifetime (unless ale is the elixir of life) so unless you plan on sticking around until 2117 itâs your only chance to enter.
The competition is part of a series of projects/events related to the Transit of Venus that David Henckel has devised for his commission from In Certain Places - to create a new piece of temporary public art for Preston Guild 2012.
The trophy will be on display during Guild week (first week of September), after which it will be donated to the people of Much Hoole to look after for future generations of brewers.
Feel free to email [email protected] with any questions relating to the project/competition.
The Transit of Venus
Transit of Venus (when we can observe the planet Venus moving across the face of the sun) currently occurs twice in every approximately 113 years, with the two transits separated by 8 years. The most recent being 2004 and the next happening on the evening of the 5th/6th June 2012
It is of specific significance to Preston as the first recorded observation happened in Much Hoole (just outside Preston) by Jeremiah Horrocks in 1639. The Astrophysics department at the University of Central Lancashire is named after him (The Jeremiah Horrocks institute) and until recently they used an observatory on Preston's Moor park.
The Transit of Venus was used to calculate the Astronomical unit, which is the distance from the earth to the sun - all other distances in the Universe depend upon it. In the 18th Century this was seen as the last great problem in astronomy and was deemed so important that countries who were technically at war collaborated in this international scientific experiment. Captain Cook was sent on his first voyage to the Pacific by the Royal Society to observe the Transit from the island of Tahiti. Other astronomers travelled to Africa and throughout Europe to time the exact instant of transit.
In Certain Places
In Certain Places is a programme of temporary public artworks and events, which examines how artists can contribute to the development of a city. The scheme, which was initiated in 2003, is a partnership between the Harris Museum & Art Gallery, Preston, and the University of Central Lancashire (UCLan).
Over the last seven years, In Certain Places has worked with regional, national and international artists to develop temporary public artworks for the city, hosted artist residencies in empty shops, and organised a series of free public talks about art, place and the city, which are free to download as podcasts from this site.

David Henckel
One of five Lancashire-based artists who have been selected to develop new temporary public artworks, to be presented during the Preston Guild celebrations in September 2012 â an historic event which takes place once every twenty years. The other artists are Iain Broadley, Lisa Wigham and Jeni McConnell & Hannah Allan â who are working as a partnership called âCollaborative Spaceâ.
Click here for more information about the project and click here to read David Henckelâs blog, which will document the artistâs thoughts and ideas as the project develops.
David Henckel is a Preston-based artist whose practice explores instances of unintentional collaboration between people, with a particular focus on the detritus of contemporary urban life. His projects are often humorous and have included such things as translating the distribution of chewing gum found on a pavement into a piece of music played on automatic piano.
Henckel has a multi-disciplinary practice, which includes drawing & painting, screen-printing, film, sound and installation. In 2010 he was awarded the public and student vote for work created on the AA2A scheme (Artists Access to Art colleges). Since 2009, he has taught advanced screen-printing at the Bluecoat Gallery in Liverpool, and created soundscapes with residents of Prestonâs Brookfield Estate in Preston. He is also the founding editor of âThe Two Hatsâ- a multi-authored website that promotes, reviews and critiques the best of art and culture in Preston.
