Weshouldall be very proudof ourrecentPathwaystoAbstraction Exhibition attheGlasshouse whichbyall accountswas
wellreceivedbythepublicandcertainlyfromtheGlasshousestaff.OnbehalfoftheassociationIthankNiomiandBridgette
for their support. The drawing sessions on the Sundays during the exhibition were very popular with the public, a special
thankstothosememberswhoputthemselvesouttobethereeverySunday.
ThegoodnewsiswearegoingtomakeasubmissionforanotherexhibitiontocoincidewiththeHastingsBiCentennialwhich
will be celebrated in 2018. The theme will be based on the history of the Hastings area and we are thinking of naming it
“thenandnow”.Somethoughtsincludeusinghistoricphotosforreferencetoproduceamoderninterpretationofthescene
which need not be limited to buildings and such but include a wide range of subject matter. Of course we will need to
discussourideaswithNiomi.WehavediscussedtheapplicationwithSkyeFrostfromtheCouncilwhoisverysupportiveand
