Morning All
 
Pea-souper here this morning, I’m positive there could be a photograph, but not sure!
 
Thanks to Sue Clark, last Wednesday, for her talk on ‘Composition Rules and Myths,’ – as I said an explosion of information, and I hope you are all now familiar with Fibonacci sequence; Image included – questions on a postcard!

 
Notices 
Humanity Competition: last date for entry, DPI’s and prints – 14th February, that’s next week!
 
Tea and coffee for this Wednesday is Freda and Elaine – thanks!
 
April Exhibition: this exhibition of prints is open to all members who wish to submit prints to be shown in the Arts Centre. 
These prints are ones that have NOT be given an award in any of our competitions, and they could also be prints that for some reason you haven’t entered. Please bring in your prints ‘cos we need about 60 to fill the walls in the Arts Centre! 
Deadline for prints is Wednesday 6th March although you can bring them in on any Wednesday. 
The ‘hanging’ of the prints will be on Saturday 6th April and the exhibition will be open from Tuesday 9th April until Thursday 2nd May. 
Maurice is co-ordinating all of this and he has asked that all prints have on the back your name and a title.  
 
Anne Marie Whitehead, Secretary: It has been decided to hold another Summer Celebration of Art and Music starting on 17th July and culminating with the third ‘Plein Air’ competition on Saturday 7th September 2024. Any ideas or suggestions will be gratefully received. 
If you recall the ‘Plein Air’ competition concerns artists who are invited to paint various scenes in Garstang, of their choice, on a particular day from 9am – 4pm and are then judged on the day. The camera club will be invited to take photographs of this competition; further details nearer the time!
