The Painting for Pleasure Group are putting on a show of work on Tuesday 15th November at the morning coffee meeting in the Baptist Church in a bid to extend a welcome to new members.
We are very fortunate in having quite a number of members in the group who have a good experience of painting in watercolour, acrylics, gouache and oils, and who are only too happy to share their skills with members of the group who have never painted before. Our members say that they enjoy improving their skills and have pleasure in sharing their talents.
Friendly group, good conversation, advise given when requested  plus tea and biscuits.   A good way to spend a Thursday morning from 10-12  @ The United Reform Church, Northway, Maghull. £2.00 a session. Come and join us

This exquisite exhibition of jewellery will mesmerise visitors to Lady Lever Art Gallery this autumn as part of the gallery’s centenary year celebrations.

Pure Brilliance: The Boodles Story will showcase the jewellery brand’s 200 year story and show how Liverpool has helped shape the company’s growth, from a family jewellery business to purveyors of some of the most stunning jewels in the world.

See how the heritage of Liverpool’s vibrant and creative jewellery industry in the late 19th century created a market for good quality jewellery and metalwork, for which Boodles soon acquired a reputation.

We are doing self guided visit to this brilliant exhibition , no tours on offer.

Wednesday November 2nd  call into u3a Tuesday  to book.

We will probably meet at venue 12 noon for 1.30 pm

Nice cafe on site. contact Maureen or Jan
