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.
