Blidworth Library art club celebrates World Book Day
Children and parents from Blidworth Library Art Club celebrated their love of a good story with a fantastic session to mark World Book Day. Art Club members dressed up as characters from their favourite book and created artwork based on the stories they love best, making another colourful display for the library. We also had a reading of Bee’s favourite tale “The Princess Who Saved Herself” and discovered everybody’s idea of a good read. For his picture of the Gruffalo’s Child one of our youngest members, Jack got to take home the friendly Art Club dinosaur Artysaurus for the month. We’re looking forward to hearing about their adventures together! (Continues on page 11)

Margaret Collingham also proposed a vote of thanks to all the members of the committee for the work they do for the Society. Doreen Clarke was elected new chairman. After the conclusion of the business we enjoyed going back to our youth with
music from the 50s, 60s and 70s, thanks to BRIAN HOWES and his 75s and 45 rpm records and Dansette record player. (Continues on page 15)
