CHINESE NEW YEAR
ANNUAL EXHIBITION 2017
Our Annual Exhibition ran for three days – Friday 10th – Sunday 12th November. It was a great opportunity to view our range of work, and to purchase exquisite, hand-made items at knock-down prices! During the weekend we ran demonstrations of pottery and painting. There were great Christmas gifts, and hopefully we inspired others to join one of our regular groups!
Here’s some examples of the lovely works which were on display.
Congratulations to Mona seen here in glorious blue celebrating her 100th birthday with friends from the centre. Mona, (now 101!) has been a staunch supporter of Chorleywood Arts Centre since its inception and we thank her for her tremendous contribution. And thanks to Les (seen in the white shirt) for playing host and holding a marvellous meal.

Birthday Surprise!
We celebrated the 90th birthdays of both Cath Sharpe and Dorothy Hughes, two of our most longstanding members. (over 25 years each…!)
To celebrate they were taken to lunch at The Gate for a surprise party. It was then back to the centre for a slice of delicious cake.
Congratulations to you both.
ANNE WRIGHT – A TRIBUTE
And thanks to Pam Naden
After 15 years as lettings officer she has sadly decided to retire from the position. By way of thanks she was presented with a lovely fuschia plant by the committee.
In August Pam is being replaced by David Hudson.
Pure silk takes dye like nothing else; the colours, the luxury. It is a perfect gift for my overseas friends. They are delighted to receive a unique gift which looks so good, feels expensive, and furthermore is as light as a feather to pop into a Christmas card.
