March Print Night

Our March Print Night will be held next week on Wednesday 13th March in the upstairs function room at Valentine Bowling Club, commencing at 7.00pm. The print judges for March are David Henderson (Colour and Small Prints) and Peter Ryan (Nature).

A few of the committee members will not be at this meeting so can I ask for some volunteers to assist Roy Killen in moving our gear from Roy’s car upstairs and then assist on the night with the setup and tidy up at the end of the evening. Roy will be in the dining area of the club from around 6.15pm. Many thanks in anticipation of your help.
