Sadly the hope of establishing a Festival of Arts, centred at the Norwood Legion, supported by local Artists and local people seems over. In the past 7 years we have held four musical events, one poetry reading evening, our writers wrote and produced two plays/ shows while producing also one by Harold Pinter: we even had a successful Dine and Theatre event. Displays of paintings every year took place with workshops. One talk on The ideas of Fibonacci; several weekly workshops focusing upon glazing with acrylic paints followed by oils; colour use theory, and more were offered. Weekly guitar playing workshops, painting and creative writing took place over the years with a good drama group performing at the Norwood Legion. Those involved were very keen and supportive but the numbers of visitors remained so very disappointing. Performances and readings attracted a few visitors from as far afield as Bellville, Peterborough and even Toronto. However, local support never developed adequately to justify so much time energy and personal costs involved. I believe it was good to try but unfortunately we lacked that essential local support.

Elections are this Wednesday at 7:30pm. Members please bring your 2017 membership card in order to enter the meeting and give your vote for the respective positions.

Renovations are underway at the Legion. Beautiful new windows to bring back the feel of the building! We continue to look for donations to keep this long standing historical building as a mainstay of the town.

Please note that the Murder Mystery Dinner originally scheduled for May 6th has been postponed. We apologize for any inconvenience.

Last Saturday Arn Patterson was the lucky ticket drawn in Catch the Ace. He chose envelope 33 and it did not contain the Ace of Spades. He received $300 and so the pot grows. It is expected to be over $3000 should the winner get the Ace! Get your tickets today as we are selling out!
