OUR THANKS TO GARY WHO IS STEPPING DOWN AS TREASURER
Gary Lewis gave up being Treasurer of the Society at the end of 2003, having made a great contribution since he joined, more than nine years ago. He is not sure what caused him to take up art, but he enjoys the peace and tranquillity that comes with using pencils and watercolours out of doors. However he also likes wild and cloudy days (see the Giggleswick reports). He admires Turner's watercolours and the work of Rowland Hilder.
Gary has exhibited with the Wessex Artists as well as T.A.S. Gary has generously given time to the society, reducing the time available for his own artistic works. His greatest gift to the society was the hard work that he did creating the new display stands. No mean feat! On several occasions he and his partner have hosted an open air painting evening in the beautiful garden of his home at Plaitford.
He says that the Society has "very nice people in it", yet Gary's own sense of humour and ready sympathy has won him many friends in the society. We hope that he will continue to enjoy his painting and the friendship of T.A.S. members.

… AND TO MARION WHO IS OUR NEW TREASURER!
Good treasurers are hard to find, so T.A.S. members are very grateful to Marion Parson for offering to become the Treasurer of the Society. A lively person with lots of energy, Marion has lent her help and support to many society activities since she took up art as a hobby. She is an enthusiastic supporter of the workshops and particularly enjoys painting in oils. We hope that Marion will enjoy her new role and at the same time, that her artwork will flourish.
