SUTTON ART GROUP: After a very successful exhibition that took place on Saturday 17th November in the Village Hall from 11:00am – 4:00pm, it will be back to the drawing board for the local group when they meet on Friday.
Following the annual event, and after reviewing their finances, the group have decided to make a generous donation to the Village Hall funds. This will enable the Village Hall Committee to progress to another level as they attempt to put the final touches to the hall.
The Village Hall Committee would like to thank the art group for the donation and for their support in general over many years which is beneficial to the community as a whole, and will help provide a village hall to be proud of for years to come.
The group meet as usual on Friday mornings in the Village Hall and will continue throughout the season. Now is a good time to get your name on the waiting list in order to join the regulars as they pursue this ever increasing popular pastime.
