<p>Dear Members and friends,</p>
<p>Thank you to those who have replied to my last newsletter below
through the <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:membership@bromleyartsociety.org.uk">membership@bromleyartsociety.org.uk</a> email address.</p>
<p>Unfortunately this email account is experiencing problems and
people are reporting bounced messages when trying to reply. It
seems that I am receiving most of the email messages (if not all)
despite the bounced messages but I can not be sure.</p>
<p>I have set up an alternative email that behaves itself. Please
use <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:membership.bromleyartsociety@gmail.com">membership.bromleyartsociety@gmail.com</a> in future.</p>
<p>Kind regards,</p>
<p>Paul<br>

in this newsletter where I need you to respond so please

<p>Our normal Newsletter process has ceased functioning so
this has been sent direct to over 300 accounts individually
from my members email account so I apologise now for any
hiccups in the process.<br>

<p>Following the success of our watercolour workshop provided
by Nishad Karim we are planning a second workshop in
September if people are interested. <br>
</p>
<p>This workshop will be conducted by Lee Moore who has
excellent experience of teaching art within her own
classes. Lee will be showing one of her favourite
techniques of how to create an animal portrait using pastels

the Wednesday Art Session's, who have already contributed
for the hire of the hall, need only pay £20 per person.</p>
