For that I would like to thank our hard- working committee and volunteers for helping us through these tough times. We do need our members to help keep us going, to foster art in the Hawkesbury, to build our reputation as an art society and, of course, to help us provide opportunities for you to exhibit and sell your work. The MTAS gallery has seen several new hangings this year and supported our Spring Affair exhibition and many thanks to Julie Simmons for her astute judging – if I may be permitted to say so – in a less than an ideal sit- uation.

My thanks to Narelle Ward, Geri Jones, Sheila Sharp, Pat Bakarich, Fiona George, Deidre Morrison, Satya Morrison, Annmaree Mitchell, Sally Johnstone, Sharron Whittington, Sheilana Prosper, Pat Latta and everyone who has helped us throughout the year, MTAS could not have thrived this year without you.
