Trips
There have been three trips so far this year – a very successful one to Cardiff and Castell Coch, an equally successful, but slightly less well attended one to Whitick Manor and the Barber Institute and a third trip to Anglesey and Bodelwyddan Castle which we’re very please to say was full!
Please make the most of these trips, numbers have dropped this year and we may not be able to continue with the extent and variation of the trips on offer. Remember – the more that come the bigger, and more comfortable, the bus!
We would very much welcome ideas for trips in 2010, current suggestions include the Picasso exhibition at Tate Liverpool together with the newly opened Victoria Gallery at the University, local National Trust sites housing important art collections and a visit to Ruthin followed by Mostyn Gallery in Llandudno.
Events
Friends events planned for autumn and winter 2009 include the ever popular Quiz Evening on October 16th, now in it’s third year with the questions not getting any easier, thanks Peter! Cost £3.50 per table plus an optional £5per head for a (delicious) buffet provided by Alice from the gallery cafe. Book early to avoid disappointment.
Our Christmas talk this year will be discussing Fakes and Fogeries on December 11th, this talk will, as usual, be followed by our Christmas gathering. More information on will follow in the next newsletter.
