Poems inspire art club autumn competition

MEMBERS of Watchet Art Club have just taken part in what they hope is going to be the first of many in-house painting competitions.
They were tasked with painting a picture inspired by a poem, and the 15 entries were judged by Mrs Chris Hitchins, of FRAMED, in Swain Street, Watchet.
The art group meets on Wednesday mornings in the Methodist School Rooms, Harbour Road, Watchet.
More information about the club is available from Mr Charlie Johns on 01984 631740.
