Corona Virus Precautions
We have had some difficulty interpreting the government regulations, the interpretations of the regulations and advice and the policies of the three halls which we use, all of which have changed from time to time. At present, one exhibition is running at The View and the Wanstead House exhibition has been cancelled. The demonstrations are still under consideration. (see News Items) but now we are runing one exhibition. See the exhibitions page. Exhibitions
Two new pages have been added to the website Isolation Activities so that members can show what they are painting during isolation, and Postcard Competition showing the entries received.
Sorry
Sorry. At present some sections of the website are out of action.
The CV List has been revised. The code was very old and it has now been revised. Members who have a new or preexisting CV are invited to check. New CVs are welcome. These should consist of some text and one or two images (two look better). Members who have a CV with one image may like to provide a second.

Our members range from total beginners to full-time professionals and include tutors and teachers of art, but most of our members are enthusiastic amateurs.
