February Meeting

 The guest speaker at our next monthly meeting on Friday 20th February will be Jason Diamond, Visitor Services and Gallery Officer at the F.E. McWilliam Gallery and Studio, Banbridge.

His talk will focus on the artistic legacy of the sculptor, F.E. McWilliam who was one of Ireland’s most successful and influential artists.

Those of us who have already heard Jason speak on this topic can testify that you can expect a highly informative, interesting and entertaining morning.
