This is all about getting creative.

I don’t have any formal qualifications in art, but I’ve been keeping those creative cells going lately and am happy to share whatever advice I can.

Whether it’s finding inspiration, knowing where to start with your art supplies, picking the right pencil for the job or anything else, this is a chance to share ideas and get some simple hints and tips.

Join me in The Gray Dawes Arms this Thursday at 1100 where in addition to enjoying your tipple, you and your team will be asked to give the correct 10 answers to a question/subject you have chosen.

Correct answers means cash, but to win that cash you must get all 10 answers correct in the final round and top the ‘Tenable Tower’.  The current Leading Team together with their money target to beat will be posted each week.

We’ll have 2 Teams, 1 Captain each side to provide the answer from each team.

NO MORE THAN 10 per team. So it’s FIRST COME FIRST SERVED.
