2012 - 2013 Programme

The new programme of demonstrations for 2012 - 2013 is now available on the website! Click here to see it. You can also download a copy for printing.

Pat has again put a terrific programme together that includes lots of new demonstrators together with the return of some popular demonstrators. Having a demonstration at our December meeting was very well received so we have been able to do the same again this year. Please note that we have again brought the date of the December meeting forward a week. The date is in red on the programme as a reminder and we will remind you again nearer the time.

February Meeting

Cambridgeshire artist, Angus Ballantine, will be demonstrating at our meeting on Wednesday, 15th February. Angus is a self taught artist who adapts his style depending on the subject and he loves painting everything from landscapes to traction engines. He is a keen demonstrator for art societies and as an antidote to the current cold weather will be painting a summer cricket scene in watercolour.

We have booked Middleton Hall for an exhibition starting 13th May through to 4th June. The Hall is normally open to visitors on Sunday afternoons but will also be open on the Bank Holiday Monday, 4th June. The room used for exhibitions is a large well lit room, quite capable of hanging larger canvases.

Forms will be handed out at Wednesday’s meeting and need to be filled by anyone who wishes to exhibit.
