It is hoped other members will continue in office. The group had a most successful 1997, with excellent exposure at the Memorial Hall 75th birthday celebrations and with paintings on display at Clios Restaurant. Christmas lunch at Clios was most enjoyable. An open day to showcase skills may be held some time this year. Applications for RADF grants must be submitted by March 30, for implementation after June 1998.
Discussion is invited at the meeting.

Growing numbers have been noted at needlework and Adele Outridge's paper and book making. Paper manoeuvring would be ideal for calligraphers.
