change to winter programme rota
Sally T is swapping with Sally P. Sally T will provide still life and model on 13th January and the Yupo session run by Sally P will now take place on 20th January.
See Message from Chairman for December '21
UPDATE AND REQUEST 26 nOVEMBER 2021
The winter programme is back to a normal routine of still life and portraiture, and your own work available every week. Portraitists will have to take a turn to model, and still life will not be provided communally, so bring your own with you. Drinks should also be brought, as the kitchen is still not available. We have also been asked to cover the floor to protect it. So if you are going to be working with anything a bit messy, please bring something with you to cover the floor in your vicinity. The blog will still alternate, and we will tell you each week who to send your work to.
Do you have a technique or theme that you would like to explore during a morning session after New Year 2022?
As we are unable to have workshops from outsiders at present, we would like to add some themed sessions after New Year. If you have a technique you could assist with, or a theme you would like to present OR if there is one you would like to have provided, please get in touch with Lesley as soon as possible.

Update 21.5.20
Dear EAG members,
We hope that you are all well and keeping safe.
Just to let you know that the committee has re-examined the current situation regarding the Covid 19 pandemic situation and how it impacts on our Thursday meetings. It has been agreed that at the moment we do not meet out- doors to paint but continue with our current practice with all of us sending Noreen our artwork on Thursday afternoons for her to put on the Blog. (For those of you who might not have looked, it is very impressive! Both the art being produced and for Noreen’s presentation of it. I’m sure you would all agree that she is a star!)
We will keep an eye on the ever changing rules for lockdown and let you know if there can be any changes to what we are doing.
Thank you so much to those of you who have contributed. There has been some lovely comments made regarding the artwork produced along with some amazing art!
What a talented group we are!
Best wishes to all
From The EAG committee.
P.s. keep those pictures coming!

Coronavirus - 17.3.20
Dear EAG Members,
After some discussion with the committee it has been decided unanimously to cancel the remainder of the Winter Programme due to the Corona Virus outbreak. The decision has not been taken lightly!
It has been suggested that perhaps, each week, on Thursday, to send Noreen a picture that you have been working on. This will keep the blog running and keep us all in contact with each other.
There is always the Chairman’s project to work on which we will plan in to the winter programme.
There is also an exhibition in July that you can produce work for. To be held in St Mary’s Church, Diss. Hopefully by then we will be up and running. Again we have to see how the Coronavirus outbreak is panning out!
We have yet to finalise the summer programme and issue it to all. Again decisions have to be made as to when this should start to run! Much depends on what the Government recommends. We will keep you posted via email and the web page.
We are sorry that it has come to this and I hope that you can understand why we have come to these decisions and hopefully we shall all be together again enjoying a summer of plein-air painting!
Regards
Sally

The framing place
If you are thinking of going to the Woodware Workshops in Beccles for a new frame, note that they are now closed all day on Mondays, instead of Wednesday as previously. (Information from Sally L.)
Many places can be Googled now to check their opening hours - always a good idea if you are travelling some distance.
