1 The Chairman, Dr John Houghton, welcomed members and thanked everyone who had brought items for the exhibition, held in conjunction with the AGM, commenting on the skill and variety of artwork and handicrafts on show.
We were lucky with some sunshine when we visited Farleys. The beautiful home of Roland Penrose, Lee Miller and their son Antony. As well as a guided tour of the house we strolled through the sculpture garden and admired works such as The Fallen Giant. The Lee Miller Gallery was captivating - such amazing photography.
We survived the mud and the rain to give 12 Young Carers and accompanying staff from the Blackburn area a visit to Brockholes - an exciting Wildlife venue with floating buildings (part of the Lancashire Wildlife Trust). We enjoyed various outdoor adventures culminating in a bonfire with marshmallows and hot chocolate.
