The above members were
again voted in at the recently held AGM and we thank them all for once again
working hard to make the Society interesting and informative. We especially thank Bill Townsend, who
due to ill health, has resigned as the keeper of the register and album. Bill quietly ushered in members and
visitors alike to our workshops and evening meetings, but woe betide anyone who
skipped signing the register.
Thank you Clive and John
for putting together a very interesting and intriguing quiz after the official
proceedings.
A big thank you to Alex who
has managed so well for the past few years in getting our events into local
publications without costing us a cent. She has taken over Bill’s portfolio and
that leaves us short of an advertising person. In the meantime Cindy will handle this job but if any of you
have experience in advertising please consider taking up this portfolio which
is such an important one.
Past Events: The paint-out at the Range was very well attended and we were delighted
that members of other art groups were able to join us. We hope to be joining forces
on many future paint-outs.
Who can forget the
wonderful evening we had with Hazel Soan.
She held the large audience absolutely spellbound giving valuable tips
and observations while showing photos of some of her wonderful paintings. Hazel
is passionate about her art and her enthusiasm is exciting and so
inspirational. I, for one, just
wanted to rush home and paint after her talk. We will be showing her photos
again at the evening meeting in June, this time giving your observations and comments.
We would like to
congratulate our blog coordinator Fiona Nichols on the first prize she won at
the recently held SASA drawing competition. Her drawing below is beautiful – well done Fiona.
I have put a list of all
the upcoming events on a separate page so that you can print it out and put it
up somewhere to remind you of our various activities.
You can see this
newsletter on our blog site – just Google and type in Fish Hoek Art Society and
the website prompt will be at the top of the page – it’s as simple as that.
