The Society had its annual open day and painting fair & competition on Sunday the 27th of June. It was a good day with bargains to be had, and had they were.

The painting competition enteries were once again of a very high standard and the prize winning paintings were based on the the public votes.

A few images from the day:

It was a cold morning, but Pam's welcoming smile kept us warm enough......and so were Franni's & Hazel's smiles at the Kintail Studio table.

Once again Bob and Evelyn from Country Craft had plenty of bargains for their fine and varied products. We got the message loud and clear Delyce & Joyce!!!!!
