A Very Happy New Year to everyone from Don and me,

Let’s hope that 2008 is THE most outstanding one so far in the creative life of the valley.

If you’ve longed to take up photography, or painting, or weaving, or singing, or dancing or just to enjoy the company of like-minded creative folk, then keep an eye on our Clubs and Classes page and our Events page, make your choices and get out there and get started!

Don’t forget to help us keep the details of these clubs and classes accurate. Please check yours and let us know if any changes are needed or if you need to update your programme.

Is your listing still accurate? Do you want to change the text or the thumbnail? Just let us know.

You might be interested to know that we’ve invited one or two people to help us out with Events listings as we find we are away a lot, so you might be nudged to think of us from time to time.

We know we said we’d leave you to send us items for Showcase whenever you wanted to – well, as you can see, we’ve had very little since we did that. Please know that people are missing your contributions. Indeed they are! We get emails telling us. So please send us your latest work today!

With our very best wishes to you and your family for a happy and prosperous New Year,

Joanne and Don.
