 We are arranging a visit to the Mall Galleries on 12 May for a limited number of members and guests, to view the exhibition by the Society of Portrait Artists. The plan is to assemble at the Clubhouse at 2.00pm before the short walk down to Pall Mall, where we will be able to see the exhibition. An exclusive talk has been arranged by one of the artists, who will explain the current approach to portraiture through some of the examples on show. We will then return to the Clubhouse for afternoon tea.

 This is the second time we will have made this visit, the first having taken place two years ago when members were fascinated by the talk, which was the highlight of the occasion and gave real insights into the work on show.  This time, we are allowing members to book places for their guests without the necessity for them to be present personally. Since it is an afternoon occasion, we thought  you might be confined to your office, but your wife or guests might enjoy the opportunity to join the visit.

 The cost of the visit will be £17 each, to include gallery entry, the lecture, and tea (with scones, jam and cream, and a slice of cake) back at the Clubhouse.
