New Forest Show update 23rd June 2008.

As several artists have been concerned regarding the shows progress I am pleased to say that every thing is going to schedule at the moment.   The marquee [slightly smaller this year 70`x40`] will soon be erected.  All those stewarding and/or demo-ing should have their packs of tickets, vouchers and badges by now except for Heike who is standing in and will be getting hers soon. I have also posted an up to date rota which has only changed a tiny bit -for stewards to see.                                                   Many thanks Brockenhurst College for their support[£500]  we will be displaying their banner and showing some of their paintings and sculpture. Nice to have a local person like Amy to organise this.

Thanks Amy.

There will be about 130  of the best New Forest artists showing a very broad band of works.            There will be about 260+ works to enjoy and buy if you wish, all the prices will be very reasonable

and far less than gallery and London prices.

So look out for THE ART PAVILION near to the NFoffices.

Paintings must be delivered to THE ART PAVILION  on Saturday 26th and Sunday 27th but NOT,  I REPEAT, not on the MONDAY 28th.

 You will be directed into the disabled car park to deliver your pictures, this is very near to the Art Pavilion marquee,[ everybody seemed to find it easily last year.]

 Now I would be very pleased to hear from anyone who actually reads this blog and if you have any questions I will try to answer them.

  I am really looking forward to the Show and meeting good friends again. 

  I am donating  the medals [as last year] for the judges to award as they think best.

There will be six artist judges in two teams of three, and judging will be on the Tuesday am.

Lastly many thanks to all those who volunteered help.  I couldn`t have all who offered their help as there were too many so I picked on a first come first served basis. 

  If you can turn up the week before to help erect screens etc let me know as I don`t know yet when the marquee will be handed over.   Thats it then ,    my best wishes to you all, Gervase.
