NOVEMBER 2014 NEWSLETTER
FROM THE PRESIDENT
NOVEMBER MEETING
I am pleased to advise that this month’s Meeting at the Rotary Hall, Sandgate Street, Como will be
the last at that venue. From our December Meeting onwards we will be back at “The Palms”.
I know that many of you have not been attending because of having to drive on the Freeway over
the Narrows Bridge at night which is quite understandable. However we have a very interesting
demonstrator this month so I urge those of you who can to be at this Meeting.
The December Meeting will be our Christmas Meeting, full details of which follow in this Newsletter.
DEMONSTRATOR
Our Demonstrator for this month is Margaret Coxall. Margaret is a professional painter and a
trained GOLDEN ARTIST DEMONSTRATOR. She will be showing us the different mediums (including
the new watercolour range) and will demonstrate the effects that can be achieved.
This should be an extremely interesting and educational demonstration so please make every effort
to attend.
Peter
The next General Meeting will be held on Monday 24th November at 7:00 pm at the Community
Rotary Centre, Sandgate Street, South Perth.
