Membership Information
The Society has a general membership of approximately 70 members. All members are encouraged to contribute to the activities of the Society whether on a committee, assistance with organisation of the Art shows, putting up road signs, contributing to preparation of the syllabus, running workshops or demonstrating painting techniques - there is something for every member to be involved in.
The Society is always encouraging new membership. Prospective members are asked to attend for a number of weeks before making application to join in order to see how the Society is run and before they make any commitment.
Membership is subject to nomination and approval by the committee.
