STOP PRESS, 02/11/2020, please read:

Once again, I am sorry to have to tell you that we are cancelling events. The Tuesday painting sessions planned for 3rd and 17th November and Roger Jones demonstration on the 5th November will not now take place. At the moment December painting sessions still stand,  but this may change of course depending on future developments.

We will keep you updated.

Take care
John


STOP PRESS, 19/11/2020

As some of you may be aware, in recognition of Sallie`s and Wendy`s contribution to the Society over the years, our committee decided to grant them Honorary Life Membership.
Sallie has asked me to send the attached thank you message out to you all.

Kind Regards
John

"Dear one and all.    What a surprise it was to receive honorary membership along with Wendy,  of  the society.    I feel very humbled to receive this acknowledgement of our contributions over the years.  Who would have thought that when Wendy founded the society 46   years ago she and I would still be part of it.   I don't believe we have ever had honorary members before so that makes it even more special.  Thank you so much.  Hopefully next year will be so much better for us all and I look forward to being able to paint with you and to near normal meetings.  Stay safe keep your brushes wet and see you all soon.     Best wishes Sallie"

​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 four times 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.
