Membership Fees

Annual subscriptions are due and will be £7.50 per person. We have had to increase the membership fee because we are having to use Durweston Village Hall for most of our meetings whilst the new village hall is being built. Could you please give your membership fees and for existing members, your membership cards for updating, to Pete and Jan Palmer at 22 Shaston Road either directly or through another committee member?

There are lots more classes this year, so read the form carefully so as not to be disappointed.  This year entries will be invited from members, residents of Stourpaine and their families.  Bring your grandchildren to have some fun with Peter Jones, retired Clayesmore teacher.  Between 1.30 – 2.30pm, Peter will help them make “A Vegetable Sculpture” – all material will be supplied.

All adult entries will be 25p per exhibit and forms and fees must be submitted by 7 p.m., 9th September.  External judges are brought in for all classes except the children’s sculpture which will be judged by two committee members.

Tickets will cost £9.20 if paid for in advance.  Anyone wanting further information on this event or to be added to the list please contact Jan (01258 453 470).  Payment must be made before 1st October.  We will be making our own way there as these tickets allow entry during the day as well.  Some of us will be making a day of it.  Anyone who would like to go and doesn’t have transport can speak to any committee member and we will do our utmost to get you a lift.
