Well, we managed to get the exhibition up onto the walls in record time on Bank Holiday Monday afternoon - 2 hours and 56 minutes! So far the comments have been very positive and everyone who has taken the time to speak to me has been very pleasant indeed. As I have previously mentioned in this blog, the exhibition is trying to raise funds for the RSPB's Save the Albatross appeal. The RSPB kindly sent me a collection box and some appeal badges but the Gallery refused me permission to put out the collection tin.


In order to get around this restriction, I decided to produce a selection of different bookmarks with a retail price of £1.25 - at least a pound of which will be donated to the appeal. If the Borough Council do not insist on their 25% +VAT slice of the bookmarks, I will donate all of the proceeds to the appeal. As of the time of writing I have sold 24 bookmarks - time to print some more: I made 40 of them and more than half of them have gone inside two days!
