From the Chair
It seems incredible that we are drawing close to the end of 2025 and that soon Christmas will be upon
us. I am pleased to extend the society’s best wishes to all our members, and to thank you warmly for
your support over another successful year.
Activities have continued unabated since the last newsletter, in particular further workshops, the talk
and demonstration by Mark Coreth, to which we invited school students, and the recent, traditional trip
to the Royal West of England Academy exhibition. We have David Chandler’s Christmas Lecture to
which to look forward on Wednesday December 3rd at 2:30pm.
As ever, the society owes a debt to my colleagues on the committee who have worked so hard to provide
and organise events throughout the year. Do please come along to the Annual General Meeting at
2:30pm on Wednesday January 14th 2026 to hear their reports - and to savour Anthony Connnolly’s
presentation. As many of you will know, Anthony is one of our Patrons and currently President of the
Royal Society of Portrait Painters. He is a knowledgeable speaker and sure to engage and entertain his
audience.
Very best wishes
