Dear Members,
First of all I hope that you all had a good Christmas and I should like to wish you all a very happy and prosperous New Year.

Thanks again go to the entertainers who kept us all amused during the evening. We give our thanks to everyone who gave their time so willingly once again.

Dear Members,
Our EASTER EXHIBITION this year, kindly opened by His Excellency, the Governor and his wife, Lady Haddacks, was a great success although admissions were down on last year, possibly due to the lovely Easter weekend weather and the current economic conditions. The raffle was once again very well supported and many visitors commented on how attractive the water colour of the bridge at Glenfaba by our Vice-President, David Byrne, was.

Dear Members,
Our summer painting week was another great success. David proved to be an excellent teacher and was very happy to share his extensive knowledge with everyone who attended his workshops. He had a lot of advice particularly on drawing and found time for individual support. The Tuesday evening demonstration was well received by the 47 members and non-members who attended. An excellent supper was supplied by some of our regular members.

Dear Members,
Our EASTER EXHIBITION this year, kindly opened by His Excellency, the Governor and his wife, Lady Haddacks, was a great success. Admissions were up on last year, possibly due to the bright and cold weather conditions, and the raffle was very well supported. 99 members sold works including 10 new members!
The committee have decided to add an ‘E-mail Address’ field to the sales cards for the next exhibition as there were 25 sold exhibits that were not collected at the required time this year. If we have the buyers e-mail addresses we will be able to send ...
