For our last meeting of 2018, we have an excellent speaker in Tish Lawson.
Tish will be giving a talk about Edward Renard, artist and art master at the Saltaire School of Art, the Yorkshire Jubilee exhibition of 1887 (the Hermit's Cell), and the formation of the Yorkshire Union of Artists as a result of the Exhibition and its first President William Powell Frith whose painting, The Railway Station, was a great success.

We will be hearing about how successful our Heritage Open Days were at Milner Field Farm and in the second half of the evening we will have a fun quiz.

The meeting is at our usual venue, the Shipley College Building, in Exhibition Road, starting at 7pm and finishing at 9pm  

As most of you are already aware, this will be last meeting as I have decided to retire from work and then I am going to emigrate to Australia in February 2019.
Can I take this opportunity to thank you all for supporting the Club and I hope you continue to do so. Although I will be living in Australia I will be continuing with my Saltaire research.
