<p>Dear Members,</p>
<p><b>Art Matters...</b></p>
<p>This Friday Deborah has suggested the subject of "Spring".</p>
<p>In the words of the great Spike Milligan<br>
<br>
Spring is sprung, the grass is riz.<br>
I wonder where the birdies is. <br>
They say the birdies on the wing, but that's absurd.<br>
I always thought the wing was on the bird.<br>
<br>
You are invited to show art works that are inspired by the Spring
(or maybe birds)…</p>
<p>Zoom invite to sent nearer the time.</p>
