Exhibition of Arts and Crafts
I hope you have been preparing some works for our Arts and Crafts exhibition which will be held on Saturday 29th October in our church.
The arrangements for the exhibition are as follows:
- The exhibits shall be displayed in the Welcome Area and Large Hall depending on the number of items submitted.
- Your work should be handed into the church preferably on Friday 28th October between 7.30pm-9.30pm. Works may be accepted early on Saturday morning, but Friday evening is the preferred time so that the committee can organise the presentation of the works.
- A note should be included with your work stating your name, the title of your work and your telephone contact number. Should you be prepared to sell your work, the price should also be indicated. In the event of selling a work it would be good if a small percentage donation of the selling price could be donated to church funds.
- The actual exhibition will take place on Saturday 29th October between 9.30am – 4pm.
- After the exhibition you can collect your work on Saturday between 4.30pm-6pm. It is hoped that some selected items from the exhibition can remain on display in the church until after the Sunday service.
- A cup of tea/coffee and a biscuit will be served during the exhibition.
