His first annual report highlighted the previous 10-year plight of falling membership, shrinking finances and low profile. He was pleased to announce that following the committee's high profile approach, their enthusiasm and hard work had reversed the trend. A successful art exhibition in May and several promotional activities in Hastings helped to boost the membership.

The club wich was founded over 100 years ago, meets on the second Saturday of every month at St John's Hall, Brittany Road, St. Leonards-on-Sea.

Its varied programme of worshops, art demonstrations, life model classes and lectures are open to artists of all levels. For further information please contact the membership secretary Betty Muffitt on 01424 434492.
