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
