Monk Fryston Art Club Summer Picnic

This year's Summer Picnic will be held on Monday 8 August at Sue Woodhall's garden in 6 Priory Park Grove (off Common Lane) Monk Fryston. You will be able to park wherever you usually do for a Monday meeting, and walk to the Picnic. 

Food will be provided by Robert the caterer, in picnic boxes to be prepaid (cost to be advised). Members, friends and partners can all come, as long as picnic boxes are booked and paid for. 

We hope for good weather, but there will be a marquee erected on site in any case. 

The event will commence in late morning for coffee, and go on throughout the afternoon. By all means bring equipment along if you want to paint or draw, but for most of us it will be a social occasion!

Put this in your diary now; more details will be published closer to the event, and a notice will be put up on the Church Hall notice board for you to indicate if you hope to attend, and if you may be bringing a guest. If you are unsure that you will be able to attend, but hope to do so, please put your name down anyway - at this stage we won't hold you to it, but it will help us to get an idea of total numbers, for the catering.

Rooms for All Summer Exhibition

The proposal for an exhibition by club members in the premises of the 'Rooms for All' store in  Selby was put on the back burner, due to time pressure when the (highly successful) Club exhibition had to be put on at short notice at the Manor House during the Tour de Yorkshire.

It is hoped to re-book the exhibition space for July-August (around four or five weeks). Approximately 80 to 100 pictures can be displayed, at a hanging cost of around £1.00 each. 

We will have flyers and posters printed for distribution around the district, and hope to create some local interest. it will also be an opportunity to promote our Autumn Exhibition, which will be held at Monk Fryston Hall on Sunday 18 September.

Rachel McNaughton on 13 June - 'Brusho'

A reminder that Rachel has been booked to come to the Club on 13 June. This will be to demonstrate 'Brusho', which we are told can be messy stuff to handle. We hope that Rachel will get us all involved in a workshop, rather than just give a demonstration, in response to reaction from members who (whisper it) have found recent demos just a tiny bit uninvolving...
