| Message from Sam Dauncey, 22 Jan 2012 I don't know how often you visit our Contacts pages. I had a few minutes to relax over coffee this morning and looked again at the "Museum of Bad Art" from the Contacts/External Links area - it's a great site I'd not visited for ages. You're missing out if you stick to the more obvious places. |
| 15 Nov 2011: Message from Sue Smith about Rosemarie
de Goede It is with great sadness that I have to tell you that Rosemarie de Goede died in the early hours of 10th November from a respiratory infection. She had been ill for a couple of weeks after an enjoyable week with Liz Seward at Dedham Hall. What can I say? We all loved her didn’t we – she was such a joy and an inspiration. My house is full of her paintings and ponies, donkeys, cows etc. Chris described her as our matriarch. Our exhibitions will miss her flamboyant and vibrant paintings and we will all miss her tremendous personality and inspiring workshops. Laurie Clarke told me how much she loved our society – it was mutual! Webmaster's note: Rosemarie's funeral took place at 2.15pm. on Friday 25 November at Easthampstead Park Crematorium, South Road, Nine Mile Ride, Wokingham, Berks. RG40 3DW. Family flowers only, but donations to the NSPCC please. |

| 8/9 Aug 2011: Messages from Sue Smith Life Drawing Workshops Download Message from organiser (28KB pdf) - Dates and details (413 KB pdf) I think Swindon may be a step too far for most, but it sounds very appealing so I will forward the details . . in case I am underestimating them! I do think some of our members could be interested . . . ART VAN GO! (Mobile Art Shop) I had a look at their website/catalogue (www.artvango.co.uk) and they certainly seem to stock a lot of stuff. What a brilliant idea - and clever of your group to have discovered them. It is much better to see before you buy isn't it? Sue --Original Message follows -- From: Liz Baldin [mailto:liz@baldin.co.uk] Sent: 09 August 2011 16:46 To: chair@wokinghamartsociety.org.uk Subject: ART VAN GO! Hi Sue . . . Woodley and Earley Art group have invited 'Art Van Go' - a mobile art materials van - to their next meeting at the Oakwood Centre. Come and browse through a variety of art materials and buy what you need on the spot! (No ordering the wrong item by mistake over the internet - or is that just me?) The Art Van Go will be parked outside the Oakwood Centre on Thursday 25th August from 7.30 - 9.00. If it rains on the night we will have the materials inside the Oakwood centre on tables instead. Please come along at any time and pop to have a cup of tea or coffee as well if you like. Parking is free on the other side of the road outside Lidl after 6.00pm. Thanks. All the best Liz Baldin |
| 24 May 2011: Message from Lesley Melia My studio tenancy is coming to an end at the end of June so I’m selling off surplus art stock. See www.elysiumdesign.co.uk. I don’t know if this is something that any of the members of (the society) might be interested in? If not then please do feel free to pass this info on to any other artists you think may be interested. Hope everything’s going well with you & your creative endeavours! Cheers Lesley |
