Last updated 10 March 2021 (by Ian Hobson 01943 877555)
COVID 19: The dates below have now been changed by one day, as we are moving our meetings from Monday to Tuesday, so that we can use the Kirklands main hall instead of our usual room, which is too small to allow social distancing. Obviously, we would have preferred to keep to Mondays, but the hall is not available then. Fortunately, all artists and speakers have agreed to this change.
The start time is now 7.45pm. The guest speaker or artist can arrive to set up from 7.20pm, though he/she will have to ask permission to enter the building. Members will have to wait until 7.40pm to enter. There will be no break for tea/coffee, so you may wish to bring a drink. As we wish to limit the use of the toilets as much as possible, please bring any water and cleaning/sanitising materials needed for workshops.

COVID 19: The dates below have now been changed by one day, as we are moving our meetings from Monday to Tuesday, so that we can use the Kirklands main hall instead of our usual room, which is too small to allow social distancing. Obviously, we would have preferred to keep to Mondays, but the hall is not available then. Fortunately, all artists and speakers have agreed to this change.
The start time is now 7.45pm. The guest speaker or artist can arrive to set up from 7.20pm, though he/she will have to ask permission to enter the building. Members will have to wait until 7.40pm to enter. There will be no break for tea/coffee, so you may wish to bring a drink. As we wish to limit the use of the toilets as much as possible, please bring any water and cleaning/sanitising materials needed for workshops.
