There were plenty of attendees on Monday , think I counted 23 but there may have been more. In respect of the photo's some of them were at a very early stage and so they aren't on here as they don't display very well.
Also the allotted storage on the blog may be close to maximum so we may have to limit uploads to completed paintings or ones fairly close to.

Please bring in any completed paintings or email them to me karlsimpson1285@btinternet.com

Free painting 14th Jan ( very late ! , Sorry)

We were a bit thin on the ground on Monday. I think the snow and the cold prevented many from coming to the club.

When I arrived there was one solitary set of foot prints leading to the Church Hall door, Rod's I think! However a few brave members turned up and we had quite a productive afternoon.

The excitement was the arrival of five new, much needed, tables, which have been donated to us by The Parish Council and, for which we are most grateful.

Jean Dearn.
