Competition Guidelines

Open from Wednesday 1st to Tuesday 28th November 2023 (inclusive) for the display of framed works of art.

Make this year’s exhibition truly amazing by bringing in any framed paintings or art photographs that you have created since January 2020 and which have not been displayed at the Club before.

Paintings will be hung on the walls throughout the first floor and, as usual, the Commodore will be asked to choose his favourite.

There will be a separate youth category (ages 13-17), so please encourage your Family Members to enter their work.

All viewers of the exhibition are invited to vote for their top 3 favourites on the slips of paper provided at the entrance to the Exhibition. The chosen pictures will be photographed and published in a subsequent notice to members.
