​

Members pay £1 at meetings to cover some of the cost of the evening and their refreshments.

Visitors are welcome at the winter demonstrations for a small fee of £5 which includes refreshments.

Our members share an enthusiasm for art and have many different approaches to their work.  Some people enjoy our meetings with demonstrations and painting days and prefer not to exhibit and others find that being able to exhibit is a great bonus.

We are a friendly club that offers a varied programme that has something for everyone.
