Roche Art Group
Roche Art Has Moved  (February 2nd 2011)

Since I visited them back in October, (to see that report go to Contents Page) this little group has moved out of the Rocheway Centre and are now happily settled in St .Teresa's to the rear of the Catholic Church in Ashingdon Road.

If you visit them in the Winter months, drive to the back of St. Teresa’s car park and the hall is on your right. You may find a torch helpful to navigate the first few steps but soon a security light pops on and the way is made clear.
As from January 2011, this group now meets in St. Teresa’s Hall at 7.30pm on Wednesday evenings  (that is the hall to the rear of St. Teresa’s Church, Ashingdon Road)

They now charge £36 annual subscription with a fee of 50p a night.

"The group owns a good range of art books, videos etc that cannot be accommodated at their new venue, but these remain available to existing and new members by arrangement with Lily."

When I quickly took photographs I was warned to tell you that what is shown are not finished works!!!
You’ll see the group through the windows but if you are still unsure, when you see the plaque on the wall, you’ll know you are there.

Lily, at 83, is still going strong but there a number of other ladies in strong support. There were sixteen of them there when I called in and I understand there are two or three others who weren’t there. that night.  
If you see the plaque,
you’re there!
Lily talking with visitors
Their new venue is light and airy and they probably have the capability to put up several more tables and welcome a few more visitors. The use of a nice little kitchen means that tea, coffee and biscuits are available part way through the evening.

They are very positive about their future with talk of Art Trails and their annual exhibition (watch this space!)
Refreshments are available
