This year's 'Spot the Artist' exhibition and sale was a great success. Allowing for a generous contribution towards expenses from Tanner Trust, the event raised almost £8,500, an increase of 25% on last year's result. This will be distributed during the current Rotary year on a 50/50 basis between local arts charities and organisations and Rotary charities and good causes.
