I am just back from a short trip to Cairo and Alexandria. I saw a lot of amazing ancient artefacts and some more contemporary art in the new Alexandria Library.
I thought you might be interested in this Roman Mosaic from Alexandria. So like the HMV label dog ‘Nipper’, the statue of which is on a building in Park Row at the junction with Woodland Road.
This is an excuse to publicise the upcoming Mosaic Workshop in January. It will be a great chance to sample this ancient medium. All materials will be provided – all you need bring is your own inspiration.
Wishing you all best wishes for Christmas and 2025.

The Art Fair which finished on Saturday seems to have been a real success. We will get details of the numbers attending and the sales in due course. I thought it was a great exhibition which amply displayed the varied talents and styles of Club members. I heard lots of positive comments from people attending whenever I dropped during the week. I would like to thank all those who contributed: the artists, the stewards, those who helped set it up and dismantle it in what seemed like record time – but especially Fiona Hallworth and Lea Aldridge for the immense amount of work they put into the organisation and smooth running.
Secondly, I want to give you advance notice of the AGM. It will be on Thursday April 17th at Redland United Reformed Church between 7pm -9pm. More details later, but put it in your diary.
