Hi all
I have just received an email, it’s a shame for us but Birmingham have decided to do some much needed upgrade to some of the Museum, therefore closing the whole place, except for one small area
This information was not available when I made enquiries last year.
I feel it’s not cost effective to go to see just the Cathedral, beautiful though it is.
Let me know if you are in agreement please before I cancel the coach etc.
I am proposing we rebook late summer, which is the expected reopening .
Another art event will be available soon.
Sad for someone, maybe lucky for someone else, as this trip was previously full.
We have four cancellations due to unexpected circumstances for this trip. We are now booked at a nearby Premier Inn, Hayle Cornwall, a short drive from St Ives, at £30 00 extra pax., with b/b and a two course evening meal deal.. As you may be aware the Premier Inn breakfasts are famously substantial, don’t think we will require a lunch.
Please confirm you want to attend this trip asap, to be sure of this price.
The cost is very reasonable for Cornwall . Itinerary stays the same,
23rd March a.m Tate St Ives……….. then free afternoon in St Ives
24th March a.m Barbara Hepworth Museum then Trengwainton
payment for two art venues not included @ £12.50 also
£11 for Gardens if not National Trust member, payable at a later date
Don Fraser luxury coach two stops during travel days.
£399 pax min of 40
£409 pax min 35
£439 pax min 30
N.B balance due in two weeks.
Edward Burne Jones and William Morris, what a collaboration of artistic talents|? Hope to do a trip to visit the beautiful stained glass windows in the Cathedral. £30 including coach and entry. Cost depending on 30 members plus Birmingham Art Galley just a short walk from Cathedral ( free entry ) We learn something every day and I have j done just that. Watching Flog it, one of my favourite Jewelers, Arthur Gaskin has a selection of his and his wife Georgie’s beautiful creations at the Museum. I have been trying to get a tour of this gallery, however it will add a little to the cost. Who cares? When such wonderful art is on show. Not had any confirmation as yet of tour. But we’re going anyway we can always look in awe.
Date February 14th 8.30 am from Maghull Square. Home about 6pm
Make it a Valentines Day date.

Sefton Artists was formed in 2010 by a small group of artists. They met weekly to paint and share ideas. From their small beginnings the group has grown and now includes members from all regions of Sefton and from West Lancs. They meet weekly in Lydiate Village Centre. This is a free event, just call in if your Christmas shopping in Southport
Hi all this is something very different to our usual visits however I am sure true art lovers will benefit a great deal as you will be required to think about what your seeing and hearing and as is usual with our group, ask many pertinent questions.
P.S if you have never visited this gallery you are in for a treat
in art and architecture.
N.B date / time is to be decided as Curator can not do 20th
Take care ,Maureen
