WSP Christmas Exhibition

Several members have suggested WSP hold a Christmas Exhibition this year (as done in previous years), which is a great idea.  It will require volunteers to take on elements of the organisation to make it a success.

Keith has already agreed to transport the Exhibition tables / plinths and Nigel, Shirley, Vron and Tineka from Thursday evening will set up the displays and take them down at the end.

What we will need are other volunteers to cover advertising or receive the work, do the catalogue, organise stewarding duty, preview drinks, glasses and snacks or cash float ( and general treasurer duties) plus collection of sold / unsold work.

People who have helped on previous shows would be a big asset as they will know the ropes and will be able to guide  new volunteers.

It is all very easy if we have enough helping hands. Everybody who attends classes would be eligible to show work ( no matter what standard) – we found before that 3 pieces per student (unless they were really BIG ) could be accommodated.

Nigel and Vron have created the following list of activities that need to be undertaken.  Please let Rachel know if you are able to help out with any of these.  Mobile: 07918 666898 or weststreetpotters@btinternet.com

Once we have a list of volunteers a meeting will be arranged to discuss the details.
