18 Aug 2010 August 2010 Meeting ~ Just AOB
Category: Meetings  | Tags: ,  | Comments off

This may well have been our first meeting where the only business was Any Other Business! Good thing it was the first item on our agenda…

  • Rob M pointed out that the Methodist Church is having a ‘Harvest of Talent’ creativity show in September – he will contact them to see what involvement Whitchurch Arts members can have
  • During this mention of the church by Rob, he said, “I’m not a churchgoer, I must confess” – which made us all have a good chuckle
  • John B stressed the importance of planning and executing shows and events well; then he mentioned an upcoming event around Christmas
  • Graham B discussed his idea of pub life art (capturing and celebrating the goings on in modern day pubs…for fear that this part of UK culture is disappearing), with possible tie-in to John’s Christmas event
  • Andrew RH had an idea for bollards which he shared with the members
  • Steve M also had an idea for something to help with safety and attention during bollard painting (given that he has painted several, including another one just underway)
  • Our next major show is being organised by Jude for October, who is away on holidays at the moment – members are encouraged to create new pieces for display
  • Our AGM is next month – to be held in the White Hart on Wednesday, September 15 2010
