Creative Container Gallery 5-18 October 2020

A message from the President to all members.

I am unfortunately unable to visit the Exhibition that you are all contributing to. I have been sent these photographs of the Gallery and it’s a great effort that we all need to support with prints and members talking to the general public who are visiting the Expo.

We are located at the lower end of the Mall

Many thanks to Tim Porteous for the photographs and the other members who are supporting this effort by our Marketing Director. Please go and see and post your comments and photographs to our FaceBook Group.
