For further enquiries please ring
Heather Netherclift - 42 322 692 Please be prepared to do "sitting time" during the week for at least 2-3 hours.
Due to lack of numbers we unfortunately had to cancel the trip to the Canberra Exhibition.
The feedback from the Exhibition 2009 has been pleasing, and also,
financially profitable, allowing the purchase of a new "Zip" hot water system for the Coachhouse. This will ensure a hot cuppa instantly and will be a safer appliance for members to use.
The development of the new lighting system for the 2010 Exhibition is underway. This is a huge investment in the future of Kiama Art Society, and members will be kept informed throughout the process.
The Annual Exhibition dates for 2010 are the 23rd - 31st October The closing date for entries is Friday 25th September 2010
Our thoughts and best wishes are with Ruth Hind this week and we wish her a safe and speedy recovery after her surgery.
You will have noticed our new logo appearing on this newsletter.

We needed a new banner for the Kiama 150th Anniversary Parade and Phillip Cooper designed this most attractive logo.
The committee passed at our last meeting that this design would now be our official logo and be on our membership cards, letterhead and newsletter title page.
