“Most of the pictures here are about the peace and tranquillity of Anglesey’s beautiful coastline and views across to Snowdonia.
I have tried to capture the atmosphere of these landscapes just as I saw them, without adding personal feelings, as I don’t think that anything needs to be added to such natural beauty.”

Reminder AGM and Gathering Tonight

Submitted by Mike Gould on 21 September, 2006 - 12:17pm.

Just a reminder that it is the AAF's AGM tonight in Canolfan Ucheldre, Holyhead beginning with a meet and greet from 6-7 pm followed by opening of AGM by Chairman Anglesey County Council, Councillor John Rowlands.  After 7.30 Côr y Traeth will sing , and a few artists will talk about their work.  There is still the opportunity for anyone to come forward and perform or talk; it is very informal and more like the idea of an open mic.  We will not be having the formal presentations on tax and copyright, but a demonstration by Glyn Davies about how to use the Forum's website and get the best out of it that you can.  I do hope you will be able to make it.

Best regards

and
ANGLESEY ARTS WEEKS 31 MARCH – 15 APRIL 2007

I’ll Show You Mine If You Show Me Yours

An AGM with a difference.  We want to keep the business side to absolute minimum, say 15 minutes, and make it an opportunity for members to share and show examples of their work over the past year.  We envisage it being a highly informal event with the opportunity to display sketchbooks, drawings, photographs, paintings, publications  or other work throughout the room.  For the performing arts we will have a couple of TVs and a projector if anyone wanted to show CD/DVD/Videos.  In addition there will be an opportunity for up to 10 volunteers to talk for a maximum 5 minutes each, a choir or part of one, and perhaps a sketch from a drama group; please complete pink form and return as soon as possible.  Also 2 short, maximum 15 minutes, presentations on business tax aspects and intellectual property rights!  The rough timetable is as follows:
