This is for ANY member to come along and paint, no commitment or booking necessary.
Only £2 from 10am – 12 noon on a Tuesday at St. Peter’s Church Hall,   Moorhey  Rd.  Maghull. (Opp. Hudson Primary School.)

DVDs FOR LOAN

These are unedited copies of our monthly demonstrations so you will need to use the fast forward button in places but i think they are worth looking at again, even more so if you missed the meeting. They can be played on computer or TV but can not be copied or altered and are for club members use only please. The DVD box is at the back of the room and i would ask that you sign the book that is with them and leave £1 in the tin to help cover the costs of the disks. Don't forget to return them at the next meeting.
