First of all - Happy New Year! I'll be starting off by taking part in an exhibition with the art society that I'm secretary for. The Thurrock Art Society will be exhibiting at the Swan Gallery (upstairs), The Swan, High Road, Horndon on the Hill, Essex, SS17 8LD. Dates of the exhibition are 14.01.13 - 26.01.13 during pub opening times (these are 5pm - closing during weekdays and Noon - closing at weekends). This is a new venue for our society and we thank the Horndon art group that created the gallery above the Swan pub, for allowing us to use the space for our exhibition. Our opening night is on the 13th january 7pm-9pm. Looking forward to it!
