2021 New Session
6th and 7th November OUR AUTUMN 2021 EXHIBITION
After a long wait since the last exhibition, the weekend was a great success. We had about 400 visitors, half of them on Saturday morning. 134 paintings and 23 folios were exhibited. 31 paintings and folios were sold for a total of £1830. Cards were also popular with £350 of sales.
Gary Miller was awarded 'Best in Show' by the public vote. He just pipped Edward Girrard who was a very close 2nd. As usual the Tombola was popular and made £150 profit.
This year we collaborated with the Rowlands Castle W.I. who ran their Autumn Fair in the small hall at the same time. They provided all the catering and sold Chistmassy food and wares. This collaboration was considered agreat sucess.
