Winter Exhibition

Just a reminder to all members that the handing in day for this exhibition is Mon Nov 25th. Please ensure that details of your submissions are sent to Mary Lane in advance of this so that a catalogue can be drawn up beforehand.  The exhibition will be opened officially on the 26th Nov and will run until the 9th of December.

Members may submit two framed and up to six unframed works. Sculptors may include three pieces. Prospective members who join before November will be entitled to show their work.

A tea, coffee and cakes stall is being run by volunteer members. The session lasts until around 4pm.
