UCL Picture Club meeting 31st May 2023

By Sarah Lawson, on 21 April 2023

This is a reminder that the next meeting is Wednesday 31 May in Haldane Room in the North Cloisters. Pictures can be returned from about 4 pm, wine usually arrives around 5 pm and the draw will be at 6 pm.

There will be an added attraction at the meeting. A member of staff’s father was good friends with the artist Sarah Ross Thompson – whose work the club owns – and he wished to donate pictures his father had to the club. (see selected photos below).

After some discussion it has been agreed the club will keep one or two and that members may select and in return make a suggested donation of £40 to the Guide Dogs charity.   This is a timely suggestion since Guide Dogs has been running a campaign this past week or so to sponsor a puppy. As they are a charity, donations can be Gift Aided.

So please come along, bring back your pictures and get new ones – and bring colleagues who might be interested!
