Raymond Whitehouse brought along some of
his water colours of local canals and copies of his book about
them. We are great admirers of Ray's paintings and, with our
President, Trevor Genge, to the fore, we encouraged Ray to get his
work in to print. He has done so, with wonderful results. You
can get a copy - with all its reproductions of the water colours,
explanations of the paintings, maps of the local canals and notes
about them, from Ray.

What are they all looking at? I've no idea but
perhaps they were posing for the photographer from the Express
and Star, who gave us a nice picture and a write up in the
following Monday's edition.
In the photo Left, between Reg and Sandra Aston, is
Satnam Rana from the BBC's Midlands Today. We hope that she will be
giving us tv coverage of our next big show, which will take place at the
Craft Gallery in Mount Pleasant, from 5th June to 12th June. It will
be all about the Second World War, especially the Home Front. |

The Chairman, Alan Bickley, and committee member
Bill Pope, reflect on a pleasant day. -either that or pilot Bickley
is telling rear gunner Sergeant Pope about his latest sortie. |

We end this report with this work of art, symbolising
Bilston in Spring, which was used on our posters for this meeting. The
picture is by Reg Aston. Colouring in by Frank Sharman (aged 64¾). |
