Summer Exhibition 13.6.09

It's Saturday 13th June and we finally got to hold our summer exhibition on the green at Station Approach Virginia Water after a false start the Saturday before when we were rained off. Today has been glorious sunshine and the visitors have been out in force there were less exhibitors this year partly because of the re-scheduling of the event nevertheless we put on quite a good show. Considering the present economic climate we still managed to sell 16 paintings and many items of hand crafted jewellery and sales were in excess of £900 which was pleasing to the Society.

When The Rain Came Down 6.6.09

Disappointment was also in the air as well as the rain on Saturday 6th June we arrived at the green early and even got as far as putting up the gazebo's and some of the stands in the hope that the rain would ease off by opening time at 10 o'clock alas it was not to be so it was decided that we would regroup and try again next Saturday 13th June so we would ask you all to put your hands together and pray for sunshine.
