Kay Walsh painting

The committee has confirmed that the painting donated by Kay Walsh and painted by her, which was not put back on the wall after the repainting and upgrade to the clubrooms, will not be rehung. This follows consultation with foundation and longstanding members whose contribution to the club over many years is most appreciated.  Of 21 members contacted only five wished the painting to be re-hung.

As a result of this the committee has decided that there are two options for the painting:

• retain the painting and keep it in storage, or 
• offer the painting to members for purchase based on a secret ballot after it has been valued.  Tendered price must be equal to or exceed the valuation.   If no tenders are received above the valuation then it should be offered to the general public for sale.
