Also last Friday, I was asked to open the Newbury Art Group Exhibition at the Town Hall. This is the first time they have held the exhibition in the Council Chamber, and it certainly looked very at home in its new setting.
Newbury Art Group has been around in its present form since just after the second world war, and its predecessor was started in the 1890s. There is work from dozens of keen amateurs on show - many watercolours and acrylic, but also some mixed media. There were some very accomplished paintings of local landmarks and country scenes.
I popped back to the Town Hall on Sunday, and vice - chairman Alan Sporne told me that they had had over 200 people visit the exhibition on Saturday, and that it was going very well. The exhibition is on at the Town Hall for the rest of the week (except Wednesday I believe).
