Conveners : Jan Whittington and Mary Macey

Meetings are held at West Chiltington Church Hall at 2 p.m. on the second Tuesday in the month.   New members are always welcome.

On Tuesday, 1st March, a dozen members of the Art Appreciation Group went to Pallant House Gallery in Chichester. We had been invited by Mercia Last (founder of the Arun Valley U3A) who offered to show us some of the most noteworthy exhibits. From the enthusiasm and depth of knowledge Mercia showed we think these exhibits were probably her favourites. She also told us of the history of Pallant House and its development into the gallery it is now.

     We travelled in separate cars, some in the morning, others in the early afternoon, to meet up at half past two when Mercia came to join us. She gave us an hour and a half of her time, after which a few of us had a leisurely cup of tea together. We then had about half an hour to visit a varied temporary exhibition in three rooms upstairs.

    It was a lovely day and we are all very grateful to Mercia for the experience
