Happily, the committee remains unchanged for 2022, with Jan Wheat continuing as Chair for the coming year. A er the formal business, members enjoyed a light supper, a quiz and a chance to catch up with one another. Following the AGM in 2021, it had not been possible to meet in person until restrictions eased in July. e balance between sustaining the society as an active organisation and keeping members safe was solved by booking a larger hall and following COVID-19 guidance. At the rst actual meeting Phil Madeley was able to demonstrate the art of creating pictures using hot wax. It was both fascinating, entertaining and a great success. A er careful consideration, it was decided to go ahead with the Summer Exhibition in August. is was greatly appreciated by the visitors who were able to see their members’ work close up and not online as last year. ere were many enthusiastic comments about the quality and range of artwork on show. Special thanks were given to Carol Easter Fun with the Waterside Gateway Club at Exbury Club e Waterside Gateway Club recently held their annual Easter Egg Hunt and Easter party at Exbury Club. Sue, Jim and the team, who never disappoint, cooked a delicious supper of jacket potatoes with di erent llings, followed by tri e, chocolate cake and crème brûlée. e amazing guitar duo, Double Take provided the music and had everyone dancing and singing their hearts out all night. e Club were very pleased to have been selected by their good friends John Darcy, Jill Tomlin and Waitrose, as one of the lucky recipients of their quarterly community ‘Give a Little Love’ scheme. John, Jill and Jo from Waitrose presented the cheque, which means a lot to the club as it will go towards organising outings and events for the members. e evening was a great success, and everyone went home very happy clutching their Easter Eggs!
