    <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>
