Summer of Art 2025

Dear Members, 
We are appealing for a 'new' Treasurer.
Uthaya, has done a brilliant job (for years) and would like to change roles. 
We appreciate not all artists make good 'accountants' so if your partner, or a friend can help, please nominate them.
(They don't need to be a member of CWSA to take up this role as we will co-opt them.)

Last year's exhibition was excellent. Lovely hall. Good 'stands' for hanging pictures.
Good kitchen and seating area for teas/coffees.
We raised over £300 for Myton Hospice. This year we are raising money for two children's charities, DEBRA and ACORN.
If you have any 'prizes' for a tombola, please can you deliver them to the front porch of Anna Poynter's home.
