On 15th December 2020, members met via Zoom to show and talk about their favourite artwork Online Art Fair - 14th to 31st December 2020 Sue Haskel helped us to set up this opportunity for members to post details of and (hopefully) sell their work AGM HELD VIA ZOOM on 19th November 2020
At the AGM the chair, Diana Brahams, reported on the frustration of having to cancel so many events but hoped the 20201 Art Fair could take place. The present officers and committee were re-elected. Malcolm Brahams gave a short PowerPoint presentation on "How Your Camera Evolved" covering the development of photography from the very first fuzzy scenes photographed by Niecephore Niepce in 1826 to the latest mirrorless digital cameras |

EVENTS DURING 2018-2019
ART FAIR 11th and 12th May 2019
We held our third Art Fair on 11th and 12th May 2019. Twenty-Five of our members exhibited paintings, drawings, silks, ceramics and photographs. Over the weekend several hundred people came to enjoy (and in many cases to buy) the art on display, to taste the tea coffee savoury snacks and cakes sold in support of the service charity Combat Stress, to meet friends and enjoy the spring sunshine in the courtyard of Fellowship House in Willifield Way. We believe the fair is becoming as much of a Suburb institution as the new year fireworks and the Proms at St Jude’s.
