Hi there from Don and me,

The clocks have jumped forwards by an hour, the days are lengthening, cherry blossom appears, there are elections in the offing, AGMs abound and people are talking about holidays. It must be April!

Here in our Easter Showcase www.clydevalley.net presents a set of three poems by Andrew McCallum, Lindsay Addison’s photograph, 'Boys at Play in North Berwick Harbour', two examples of Liz Cameron’s ‘impressed’ pottery designs, Lys Graham’s painting ‘Big Storm Coming, Mellon Udrigle’ and Tom Clelland’s song ‘I think he liked the ladies’. Many thanks to them and also to all the other contributors who have been sending in work for future Showcases. Please keep it up.

If we’ve caught you before you go on holiday and you have a moment to spare, please could you take a second or two to check that we have publicised your group’s meetings till the summer correctly? Also, if you or your group are planning an exhibition or a performance soon, please let us know so that we can help publicise the event. Over 70 visitors drop in to our site every day just to see who’s doing what in the Clyde Valley, so it’s worth letting us (and them) know about you and your group.

Happy Easter from Joanne and Don.
