We are a thriving club that aims to promote artistic activities in a friendly atmosphere, so we have been delighted to welcome a significant number of new members over recent months.

          Despite the grey conditions there was good turn-out for the ‘Paining Challenge Day’ at Pickering Castle in August, with Penny Wicks winning the prize, following a constructive review of all completed work by Stephen Broadbent.

          ‘Thank you’ to the many members who contributed to the great success of our Annual Exhibition in September.  We had lots of visitors and a high level of sales, despite the economic climate.

          Demonstration evenings have been inspiring and well-attended; we expect this will continue for Marine Watercolours by Robert Brindley, from Sleights, in November. There is no meeting in December. 

          In the New Year we look forward to ‘having a go’ in your preferred medium at the Practical Evening on January 12th  at 7pm in Memorial Hall. Our AGM is on February 9th.
