We have received the following. If you are interested, please contact the organiser direct.
I was wondering whether you would be able to send this information to your members about a weekend workshop I am running in Tarrant Gunville near Blandford Forum “Painting Landscapes in Oils”.
Thank you.
Best wishes

FUND-RAISING DAY FOR ST MARTIN’S CHURCH
On Saturday 20th May St Martin’s church is holding an event to raise money for the church. It will include a talk about the church and a display and sale of art. We have been asked to make a contribution by displaying some of our work. The plan is to display unframed pictures on table top easels and in browsers
If you would like some of your work to be on show, please cover your mounted work in cellophane and put a label on the back giving the usual information – your name, price, medium and title. If your work is sold the church will receive 20%
You can get your pictures to me by dropping them off at the workshop on 9th May, or at the demo on 15th. If you can’t make either of these dates you can deliver your work to me at the church before 9.30am on the 20th.
I will steward the exhibition but would welcome some company if you can spare some time
If you have any queries give me a ring
