The Chairman’s Notes

A really good Autumn term is over as I write. The varied workshops have been well attended and the normal Thursday afternoon sessions have gone very well, with good still-life subjects and often more than twenty members present. The Patricia Piggot evening had an almost party atmosphere that I think was widely enjoyed by those present. Lorna was the well deserved trophy winner, with another of her lovely animal watercolour pictures.

The new term starts on January 5th and the major events will be:

A. The AGM on February the 7th at 7.30pm. Please come along and take part – if you have proposals to put, nominations to make or questions to ask all the better. More information is included in this newsletter.

B. The Golden Brush Evening on March 6th. The subject this year is “a film title”, so you have plenty of scope and no excuses for not producing a picture!

C. The Spring Exhibition (proposed) from April 5th at the Tourist Information Centre. Please support this venture with some stunning art-work.

Our 2012 program gets off to a good start with:
February 23rd Half day with a Fisherman Model (clothed) 1.30pm
March 22nd All day with Xiao Bai 10.00am
April 3rd Acrylics demonstration with Wendy Parkin at 7.30pm.
April 19th Half day Watercolour with John Forward 1.30pm
