We had a very successful exhibition online and in person at Beckenham 
Place Park recently. Congratulations to Deborah for organising it and 
all those who helped her. The sales desk was apparently quite hectic - 
congratulations to all those who sold works too. And congratulations to 
all those who took part. It was a very attractive exhibition which 
demonstrated the wide variety of styles, media and subjects that our 
members pursue.

Deborah writes

    /41 Artists took part, many of them BAS members - or have joined
    since. Some took part on the website only - still open here
    //www.bppartshow.com <http://www.bppartshow.com>/
    /Very popular on the day with a steady stream of visitors and even a
    queue to get in!/
    /I paid 26 Artists for sales /
    /We raised over £400 for the park and we will share what the money
    will be spent on shortly. /
    /Thanks to everyone who helped make the day the success it was.

Thanks also to Katie who has been managing our social media 
representation. There is a video of the BPP exhibition on our Insta feed at

You do not need an account to view it. We are always grateful if members 
with social media accounts could "like" or "share" posts, depending on 
platform, follow us and our stories and generally help increase our 
presence. It helps increase our membership and our exhibition visitor 
numbers.

Your committee has met this week. We have two more "First Friday" demos 
and a Christmas event this year as well as some "Art Matters" meetings 
on other Fridays. As Covid case numbers are rising once again we have 
decided now that all those will be online only. The Christmas event will 
include some "homework" for members - details nearer the time.

The Wednesday studio sessions at Ripley will continue for the time 
being, but masks must be worn, please. We anticipate that the need for 
ventilation in colder weather and the rising case numbers might require 
some changes to session timing and number of attendees. As always Paul 
will keep an eye on this for us.

We are hoping to have some autumnal outdoors sketching sessions soon. 
Watch this space.
