35 of our members including our founder member who started the group in 1948 have each painted scenes from around the Macclesfield area which have been compiled into 2 montages. These will be raffled throughout the course of the exhibition at the Library (18 - 25 October) and at the Treacle Market on Sunday 27 October with proceeds divided between two local charities (1) Ward 9 at Macclesfield Hospital. Ward 9 is an acute care of the elderly ward specialising in dementia and (2) Windyway Trust - a Macclesfield Charity supporting the work of Windyway Animal Rescue and the Search and Rescue dogs of the Peak District Mountain Rescue Teams. You will be able to see the montages on display together with over 200 paintings plus cards, crafts and our now-famous calendar available to purchase; and buy raffle tickets (£2 each with a chance to win one of these two unique montages).
