<p>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. <br>

<blockquote>
<div class=""><i>41 Artists took part, many of them BAS members -
or have joined since. Some took part on the website only -
still open here </i><i><a href="http://www.bppartshow.com"

<div class=""><i>Very popular on the day with a steady stream of
visitors and even a queue to get in!</i></div>
<div class=""><i>I paid 26 Artists for sales </i></div>
<div class=""><i>We raised over £400 for the park and we will
share what the money will be spent on shortly. </i></div>
<div class=""><i>Thanks to everyone who helped make the day the
success it was. <br>

<div class="moz-signature">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. <br>

<div class="moz-signature">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. <br>
</div>
<div class="moz-signature"><br>
</div>
<div class="moz-signature">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. <br>

<div class="moz-signature"><br>
</div>
<div class="moz-signature">We are hoping to have some autumnal
outdoors sketching sessions soon. Watch this space. <br>
