MAGHULL ART GROUP NEWSLETTER January 2012

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO EVERYONE

We start the year with Norman Long doing a still life in oils.

For the sale at the social evening in December we made £70 and the unsold items went to John West for his charity EPIK and Elsie won the vote for her painting about "winter".

CD’s

A plea for unwanted music Cd’s for background music to play at our exhibitions on the club’s new CD player. Please give them to any committee member at the next meeting or on any Tuesday, Thanks.

VISITOR’S FEES

The committee has decided that as of January 2012 the visitor’s fee will be increased to £3.

EMAILS

As the cost of postage continues to rise we would like to start using emails as much as possible to communicate with members, particularly for exhibition entry forms and also for you to return them.

PLEASE if you have changed your email address will you let Denis our membership sec. know so we can keep our data base up to date. denistaylor@yahoo.com If you have given us your email address please check your emails regularly for mail.

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.
