Look at how much is going on in your neighbourhood
Little ditty by Fred Raine:
The Hall Bower Art Group was formed some years ago
To provide a place for local people to go
To share the joy of painting
A joy we hope never ends
But what is more important
It allows us to make friends
The Art Group runs every two weeks until 18th June 2019 when it finishes for the summer break. People are welcome to come along, enjoy painting, and meet like minded people.
Venue: Hall Bower Sunday School, High Lane, Newsome
