With the AGM in our minds, during October and early November we needed to say our goodbyes and good wishes to a few committee members.
We had three members leaving the committee this year. They are as follows:
Judy Ferguson, who has played a Major role in the set up and running of the gallery right from its inception back in 2006, and prior, when the group ArtsActionwere intent on trying to open a much needed Gallery in Gawler. (There were several other members who also worked hard just like Judy, and are still with us today. Together they strove to find a location, and set up what we have today.) Over the years Judy has been our President and also out Publicity Officer, she will be very much missed. We wish you a happy and crafty retirement Judy.
(It needs upgrading now – Oh for hooks without screws that bite into your fingers)
Most of the hard work is done – the foundation members with their enthusiasm and hard work have created a pretty good venue for members.
Remember it is YOUR Gallery, Fresh ideas are essential, – no one should be afraid of good changes that will make the running of the gallery easier and more efficient. Colleen

Sue Olds and Dianne Vagg have given a lot of time and effort to the Gallery but their personal commitments now make it impossible for them to continue. They will remain helpful members!
Sue looked after the Gawler Hospital Exhibition space, while Dianne was our Shop Co-ordinator, she also put together our raffles this year and managed to get sponsored prizes from various businesses in the local area.
I would also like to say a Big Thanks to the remainder of the committee, for their invaluable efforts and support during this past year, and in particular to our Secretary Colleen, who has initiated and carried out Many, Many, upgrades and reforms to our much needed infrastructure. All with the express aim of making it easier for future committee's and members to run the gallery.
There are also others, who are not actually on the committee who help the gallery in many ways. One of whom is Pat Low who regularly does the flowers and catering for Gallery Exhibitions. She is very much appreciated, as are others such as Ken Hughes. I have no doubt there are others whose names I do not have. Rest assured you are ALL valued and appreciated in what you do.

2014 has been a VERY busy year and we are all looking forward to 2015.
A Little Reminder of our Roots.
From Colleen Gates;
I am always amazed when I see the hanging system, which was devised and installed by members’ husbands, and how they managed on a shoe-string budget to get it prepared for the first opening, |
