Hi folks,
Just to let you know, we're off for the Summer (now it's finally here!). We're back on Wednesday 12th September, usual time, usual place :) Look forward to seeing you then.
We may well get together in one of many of Beeston's great coffee & tea shops during the holidays though. I'll keep you posted :D
Enjoy the sunshine, and if you can't, may your fans keep you suitably cool xx

End of the Exhibition and Raffle Draw
What a great way to end such a splendid exhibition! Many thanks to those who came to help us close the exhibition and take part in the raffle draw. We had lots of fabulous prizes from local businesses - special thanks go to Boots plc, The Treasury Gift Shop, ArtWorks, Square17teen Hairdressers, and my Mum, Pat Morris! I've not totted up the exact figures, but I think we raised about £60, which is not to be sneezed at. It'll help our work continue, and that's marvellous.
Thank you to all who visited during the fortnight we were running, and we hope that you were inspired and delighted by the wonderful talent that was on show. If you're interest has been piqued, then come and join us for our last session of this academic year on Wednesday 18th July at 1.30pm. Stephanie Morris will be leading the class with a look at Chinese brush strokes.

Art Exhibition 2nd - 13th July 2012
Had the launch party today, and thank you to all who attended (and tried to attend!). The rain was shocking, and the parking around Beeston Library for disabled people is appalling - I certainly won't be leaving the house for a few days after today!
But what a FAB start to a great exhibition. The bubbly was flowing, smiles and laughter filled the room, and members, volunteers and supporters joined the merry throng. There was some real interest in joining the group, which is marvellous! We welcome those who want to come along and see if NB is for them.
It is such a great group, I know I sometimes sound like a broken record, but no matter who joins, or leaves, the group itself is wonderfully warm and welcoming. We all struggle in some way, so the sympathy is really empathy, and there's always a listening ear as well as someone willing to chat. It isn't a noisy group as such, but there is a healthy balance of times of quiet and times of laughter and chatter.
