The boards were quite unstable and we had to hold on to them when the wind increased.

 Only one sale, my painting of Staithes Footbridge.

Chris organised the hanging with help from Thelma, Joe,Lesley, Pam and myself. 

Olive and Christine arrived on the afternoon.

 Other artist displaying their work were:-

Meghan McCarthy - small drawing and paintings etsy store

Lady with torn collage paintings

Lady with Chinese ink drawings

and a chap with black and red paintings of local scenes.

Two of the boards did blow over because of the single arrangement of boards whereas linking in a zig-zag pattern would have been more stable.
