UKCPS AGM

UKCPS AGM - Change of Venue

FOR THE URGENT ATTENTION OF ALL MEMBERS ATTENDING THE AGM AND WORKSHOPS ON 19TH OCTOBER 2014


Due to the closure of the roads around the MAC Centre and the difficulty with parking, due to the Birmingham marathon, the Executive Committee have decided to change the venue.  The new venue is:

Holiday Inn Express
St Chads Queensway
Snow Hill
Birmingham
B4 6HY

There is a public car park behind the hotel - marked No. 15 on map which shows road closures and access roads.

The published times and agenda for the AGM and workshops remain the same.

We sincerely apologise for this late change of venue.

AGM Clarification

There seems to be some confusion about the members workshops being held in the afternoon after the AGM.

There are 3 workshops at £25 each. David Lewry - fur, Morryce Maddams - buildings, Malcolm Cudmore - complimentary colours. These are hands on and are NOT demonstrations. For booking and further details check out the members page of our website or contact the tutors direct.

In the morning before the AGM there is a talk and demonstration also by Malcolm Cudmore about 'composition' this is open to all members and is free.

Please do come and support your society, hear what is being planned for the future and if you wish you can have your say too, we don't put you under any pressure. Your Executive Committee will be pleased to meet you and you will have the opportunity to meet other members from beginners to professional artists. You all have one thing in common, a love of coloured pencils.

The MAC centre is an art venue and there is often other things going on. There is plenty of parking and a good cafe.
