Message from Fay Hilder re: the Area Exhibition dates

Hello everyone

I have had a few enquiries regarding our Area Exhibition in the Visitor Lounge, Canty Museum.  There appears to be a little confusion with dates and times, I hope this will clarify things for us all.  The Area Exhibition will be open to public from FRIDAY 16 Sept to SUNDAY 25 Sept.

Set up:     Diane and her team will be hanging the exhibition on Wednesday 14 Sept and  Thursday 15 Sept.

Opening:   The opening and presentation of awards will be held in the Visitor Lounge of the Canty Museum on Thursday 15 Sept. at 6pm.  All Creative Fibre members are invited to attend.

The exhibition will be open to the public from Friday 16 Sept until Sunday 25 Sept. (Museum opening hours)

I look forward to seeing you all as well as the beautiful pieces that have been created.

Kind regards, Fay Hider, Canty Area Delegate, Creative Fibre.
