AN ART show held in Pangbourne earlier this month has been hailed as a great success by organisers and artists.
Members of Pangbourne Rotary Club held the annual art event in Pangbourne Village Hall, and saw 40 local artists sell 40 pictures with a combined value approaching £4,000, raising more than £1,800 for charity as a result.
The exhibition was opened on Friday, April 14 by three of the four Deputy Lieutenants of Berkshire: Rohit Tanna, Carole Jackson-Doerge and Dr Christina Hill Williams, and organiser Clive Williams.
Among the new initiatives this year, there were craft stalls selling jewellery and clothing, light refreshments, and a display of some of the press cuttings showcasing Pangbourne Rotary’s work over the past year.
The Rotary Club’s chosen charity for the event is Young People and Children First (YPACF), which gives a home to people aged 16-25 who are leaving care or who are homeless.
CEO Tracy Underwood explained the work the of charity and the charity had volunteers in attendance throughout the weekend.
