Clifton WI group outing - NEW

Tuesday 24 May - Three Exhibitions at the RWA

 The January visit to the RWA for the 250th anniversary of BOV was  so successful that we have decided to revisit the RWA for its series of spring exhibitions.

 "Inquisitive Eyes: Slade Painters in Edwardian Wessex 1900-1914", the primary exhibition, was described in a recent review as  "captivating". It focuses in particular on Augustus John, William Orpen and Vanessa Bell and their time spent painting in Dorset.

 This is complemented by two further concurrent exhibitions: "Imagined Landscapes", which explores an alternative understanding of place in contemporary art, and Simon Quadrat's solo exhibition exploring notions of place and memory. 

 Details of all three exhibitions can be found here: http://www.rwa.org.uk/exhibitions/

 This will be an afternoon visit, preceded (for those who wish) by lunch at Papadeli at the RWA. The cost of entry is £6.95 and as is customary for WI outings, we ask for a voluntary top-up of £2 to go to WI funds.

 Please email cliftonwi@gmail.com if you'd like to join us, or speak to the organiser, President Paulene Denyer, at the next meeting.

Some events and ideas for Clifton WI members over this summer

By Clifton WI -
Clifton WI members like to get out and about in smaller groups for outings and visits.   We have some planned dates and ideas so do come along to our next meeting on April 26th or look out for your next newsletter in your inbox for further details. 🌸 👣 🎭 ♣🍲🚶🌉 In May a group are heading to Hanham Court Gardens, in July we have our annual meeting 'on the hoof' when we go for a walk ending in a local pub.  In addition, some will be going to find out a bit more of the shady history of life in Bedminster on a guided walk and we are also thinking of planning a visit to the hidden parts of Clifton Suspension Bridge.   This is in addition to monthly meetings and all our social groups getting together for theatre trips, meals or to review books and play a variety of games. Interested in joining Clifton WI? If you would like to join us, the first step could be to visit us at a monthly meeting.
