Cessnock City Library Exhibition

Our club’s exhibition is now open at Cessnock City Library.  It is already drawing lots of attention and complementary comments. 

The exhibition is on view until the end of June. Thanks to the contributors for this beautiful display.

Thanks also to Katherine James, Dennis Archibald, Greg Carruthers and Peter Treloar for their hard work in the organisation of the exhibition.  Thanks also for Cessnock City Library for hosting the exhibition.  They claim that this exhibition is one of its most popular. 

Our club has been booked in for June 2024 to exhibit again.

The Exhibition is now ready for hanging at the Cessnock City Library, 9.30am on Monday 29 May 2023.

We are calling for able bodied “ladder climbers”.  We would appreciate your help and the process should only take a couple of hours.

So what is in it for you?  Schofield brownies and coffee!   

Please contact Katherine James if you are able to help.
