THE END OF AN ERA

After almost seventy years of holding an Annual Exhibition, we regrettably have to report that there will be no further Exhibitions.

Our 66th Annual Exhibition was scheduled to be held between Monday 19th and Saturday 24th October 2020 in the Sileby Community Centre.  The Covid Pandemic meant that we were unable to invite members of the public to the Community Centre to see our work, so instead, we mounted our first on-line "Virtual" Exhibition.

In 2021, we had planned a two-day Exhibition for Saturday 23rd and Sunday 24th October, but severe restrictions on numbers carried forward by the Parish Council from July 2020 meant that it became unviable and was abandoned.

The Parish Council then increased the charges for what would have been our 2022 Exhibition by 103% and with efforts to find an alternative venue for this and future events proving fruitless, the decision was made to end the practice of holding an Annual Exhibition.
