Letter From the Social Committee:

Dear Member

Several events over the last few weeks have enjoyed much success including the Stephen Duffy jazz recital last month and the Flowers from Art with Enid Reid event, which proved to be informative as well as very entertaining.

Ailsa McWilliam’s “Looking for Wompoo Doves” exhibition opening was well attended and a great success with 18 pictures sold so far. On the subject of exhibition sales, a reminder that any member wishing to buy a painting will receive a 10% discount. The opening was followed by another acoustic afternoon with three fabulous sets from Erin K Hill, Clair Tierney and our own Dan Luck with is guitaring partner Phil Toner. Ailsa’s exhibition will run until Monday 30th June which will be followed by the Glasgow Art Club Summer Exhibition which opens on Friday 4th July, with a buffet dinner being served.

The Fejes String Quartet had a most appreciative audience, many of whom also enjoyed a relaxed supper from the new evening menu which was provided on the night. We would like to remind members of the extended opening hours on Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights and encourage you to take advantage of this added facility so do bear the club in mind if you are heading out to the theatre/cinema etc. A number of members have been enjoying the new relaxed, evening dining experience so please keep using it!

New opening hours and catering arrangements. From Thursday 5th June 2008 the Glasgow Art Club is introducing is introducing later opening hours on Thursday, Friday & Saturday nights as follows:
Thursday bar closing at 10.30pm club closing at 11.00pm. Friday & Saturday bar closing 11.30pm club closing at midnight.
On these evenings a light supper menu will be available for service in the Gallery.[Click here for Menu] Last orders for food will be 9.45pm on Thursdays and 10.45pm on Fridays and Saturdays. It is hoped that members will make use of the extended facilities as an ideal pre/post theatre call and that the club will be well used during these normally quieter times of the day. The new arrangement will not affect the current dining hours and on the occasion of an event taking place in the Gallery, restrictions will apply

Email Addresses. If you would like to save the planet and Club postage costs please send an email message to [click here to email] and we will add your address to the list.
