CHAIRMAN’S NOTES
Cliff College now seems a long time ago, but I was thinking about it with quite some nostalgia after our audio problems at the September and October lectures!  At the November lecture, all systems seemed to be working properly – even the loop was working – and so I hope we are all now enjoying our new venue.

Our new Young Arts project begins in mid February.  This is an effort to encourage art in five primary schools in the Hope Valley by using a professional artist, putting on a public exhibition of the childrens' work in Buxton, all within a budget of £1,500.  Elsewhere in this newsletter, Jan Hardy, our Young Arts co-ordinator gives you all the details. 

Our Heritage organiser, Pat Paulett is currently trying to find some conservation work that could benefit from our help.  To justify our charitable status we do need to do projects of this sort, and if you have any contacts or ideas that might be of help to Pat, do please get in touch with her.

I have not yet had the pleasure of meeting all the new members, but I hope you are enjoying being in Cavendish DFAS, and I would be delighted to hear any comments that you would like to pass on to me.

I look forward to seeing everyone at the January lecture – real fine art  this one, “Brothers of the Brush” - and my best wishes to you all for a happy and healthy New Year.

PS;  You will see elsewhere in this Newsletter that Pat Paulett has now set up a heritage project but don't let that put you off passing on your ideas to her.
