School entrance area

Last year our advertising was minimalistic, this year we went for big and bold!

Raffle

No entrance fee this year, but everyone was very generous in buying raffle tickets. All prizes were donated. First prize was an original painting by artist Les Wilson and second prize a cake by Beth Armstrong. Thank you to everyone who bought raffle tickets and donated prizes.

Craft stalls

This year for the first time we had a small range of crafts: greeting cards, painted glass, hand-painted Christmas decorations, stained glass, and flower arrangements etc.

Embroidered pictures

Crafts also included embroidered pictures.

Visitors

We had over 200 visitors to our exhibition - fantastic. We would like to thank all family, friends and people from the local community (and further afield) who came along and supported us.

Refreshments

Members were busy prior to the exhibition baking cakes. These were enjoyed with tea or coffee. Thank you to all the ladies and gentlemen who prepared and served refreshments. Here is Peter having a go after he had received some training from Eve!

Ruth - all set up now waiting for the visitors.

What do you think to that one

This year our members have been very busy - we had over 190 paintings exhibited. There were many different styles and media used including watercolour, oils, acrylic, charcoal and pen and ink. Our diverse range is one of our attractions and presents an interesting exhibition for the visitors.
