Hi everyone,

We will not be meeting in March but if anyone is interested in April please let me know in the next week or so. If there are only a few Mondays you can attend please let me know which Mondays to see if we can get a group together at least for those Mondays.
As usual the sooner you let me know the better so Julia can book the model and room.
Pre-paymennt is also a great idea. If you wish you can drop the prepayments to my studio (#202 at the RCA) just slide it under the door in an envelope with my name on it.

Have a great March everyone :)

Thanks very much,

Elizabeth was a lively member, always ready with a laugh and her sense of humour was intelligent. She is past Vice President and Past President, and led the group for those two years with unwavering dedication. We will miss her.
