November Newsletter from Liz Harding:
Dear Members
Our next meeting will be on Thursday November 4th at 2.30. Our guest speaker will be Katy Rundle, an artist who creates compositions using printed fabrics and machine stitching. Information about her and images of her work can be found on www.katyrundleart.com The committee have decided that it is now possible to begin serving refreshments during the break of the meeting. A committee member will bring the provisions and ask for a volunteer to help at the start of the afternoon.
The December meeting will begin at 12.00 at the Bull Hotel with our Annual General Meeting to be followed by a complementary drink and a chance to look at members work. There will be the presentation of the prizes for the ‘Serendipity’ competition held online last Spring. This will be followed by our Christmas lunch at 1.00. The room booked for the meeting and lunch is a good size so should allow us to be ‘socially distant’. Obviously, mask wearing is up to individuals. As there has been so little chance for members to see each other’s work the committee hopes members will bring one or two of the paintings that they have done over the past eighteen months so we can all enjoy them. Membership cards giving details of next year’s programme will be available for members on that day. Menus for the Christmas lunch will be sent out at the start of November and be available at our next meeting. There will not be a meeting in January although the ‘get together’ afternoons will continue as usual. If you would like to become more involved in the Society's activities, we currently have a vacancy on the Committee. Please let me know if you are interested and would like to know what this entails I hope to see many of you at our next meeting, the A.G.M. and the Christmas lunch. Happy painting Liz

WHO WE ARE We are a group of enthusiastic leisure painters who meet regularly to share ideas, techniques, and motivation. The aim is to enjoy our common interest in a relaxed, friendly, and supportive environment. The Society has been active for 43 years, and so we have many years of experience. OUR MEMBERSHIP The Society has a membership of about 40 living in Fairford and the surrounding area. New members are always welcome, and can attend any of our Get Together Painting Sessions or Demonstrations as a "drop in" guest. So, if you are thinking of possibly joining us, come along and say hello, you can be sure of a very warm welcome. If you go to the Membership section of this website, you will find more detailed information on membership. |
WHAT WE DO We currently run Get Together Painting Sessions twice a month, together with monthly Workshops or Demonstrations by expert artists in their own particular field. The recent addition of Outdoor Painting Sessions during the summer months has proved very popular. In addition to these regular activities, there are occasional social events, and an Annual Society Exhibition. If you go to the Programme section of this website, you will see what is currently on offer for you to enjoy. WHERE WE MEET Meetings are held at the Farmoor Room, Fairford Community Centre, High Street, Fairford, Gloucestershire, GL7 4AF, unless denoted otherwise in our programme. |
