The Preview evening on May 2nd saw the presentation
of prizes, kindly donated by The Newton Art Group and Hobbycraft, to the
winners of the local schools art competition.

A total of twenty four artists contributed to the show and thirteen pictures were sold from the main exhibition room together with
many cards and unframed prints from the back room. In total the sales were in
excess of £2000, exceeding last year’s takings.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank Peter
Geraghty for the generous donation of a beautiful picture for the raffle prize and
to all the members who so kindly gave up their time to set up, display and steward
the exhibition.
At the time of writing, we are awaiting confirmation of dates
for a further Exhibition to be held at Benningborough Hall prior to
Christmas. Watch this space!!
