EXCITING NEWS
BETTLES POP UP GALLERY
At 4 HIGH STREET RINGWOOD
The empty shop which we transformed into a gallery for the month of December proved
to be very popular with Ringwood residents. It was in a prime position on a corner
site with large display windows. It was well visited and the contemporary work was
much admired and sometimes purchased. We very much hope to repeat the venture at
some time in the future.

HUNGRY BOWL LUNCH II
Those who participated in our charity luncheon back in 2008 will remember what an enjoyable day was had by all at the same time supporting a good cause. By popular request we have now organised a similar event with the cooperation of Ringwood Rotary Club.
The success of the venture depended entirely on the generosity of potters from around the country who were prepared to donate a bowl suitable for the serving of a pasta lunch.
Potters promised bowls (or, if this was their forte, any other item suitable for an auction which also took place on the day.) The more bowls we received, the more tickets we were able to sell.
Details of pots received are publicised on our website and information about the potter appeared with the donations.
On arrival guests took a number which corresponded to a bowl. Their pasta lunch was served in the bowl which afterwards they kept Salad, bread, coffee etc. was also be included. Tickets cost £25 each.
The charities which we are supporting this year are the Mashiko Pottery appeal, Shelter Boxes, Tools for Self Reliance and local Rotary charities.
Our thanks to all who contributed to this event, either by donating items or supporting us on the day. It was an outstanding success and was enjoyed by all as can be seen by the many smiling faces in the photographs below. The charities which we are supporting will benefit to the tune of £6000 thanks to your generosity.
