Aintree Branch Annual

Exhibition

We understand that many of our members are commit-

ted elsewhere with exhibitions this year and so we are

now planning to have an exhibition around Easter 2004.

Lesley Southwood, Company Trading Manager of the

ILPH will advertise this in the ILPH newsletter and on the

web site.

We have a large upstairs room with picture rail and

plenty of light. With support this could be an excellent

venue for us and it could start to be known for its art-

work as well as a rescue centre.

Aintree Group Trade Stands

Following on from the Open Day we intend to have a num-

ber of Trade Stands at horse shows around the country. On

some of these occasions the York Branch may join in and it

would therefore be called a ‘Northern Groups SEA - Aintree

and York’ Trade Stand. If you are interested in joining us to

achieve this please contact Anne Corless. Once again, to be

eligible for this you must have an involvement at Penny Farm

by hanging artwork in the Tea Shop

.

Focus on

Jean lives on a small farm in Cumbria with a variety of animals

including 2 labradors, 1 Jack Russell, 2 thoroughbred mares (1

in foal), Highland cattle and Belted Galloways.

As if this is not enough to fill her days she is a prolific artist

with a studio gallery at her home which she opens to the pub-

lic.

Jean is a keen racegoer both flat and National Hunt and her

passion is reflected in a lot of her work.
