Last week I mentioned that we might be exhibiting some of the work done in these sessions. I can now confirm that we'll be exhibiting in the cafe space at Dunoon Burgh Hall. We'll be having launch event on the evening of Thurs 13th September and then the work will be on display for a few weeks. So please make a note to pop in and have a look! If you'd like to come to our launch event, then head over to our Facebook Page and let us know by confirming your attendance on the Event tab.
