During the Spring, Autumn, and Winter, the club meets in St. Mary's Hall on the fourth Tuesday of each month. These evenings give members an opportunity to see an invited artist speaking about and usually demonstrating various techniques and disciplines. The format of the evening is usually a 19:30 start, a short coffee break at mid-point, with the evening usually finishing at 21:30. They are free to all members and visitors are welcome for a small fee.
For an additional membership fee members can take part in weekly studio painting sessions. Studio numbers are restricted to 20 people, the maximum the room can comfortably hold so members are requested to opt for a specific studio group.

Workshops are usually organised twice a year, led by experienced tutors, for a reasonable fee. These are open to all members on a 'first come, first served' basis. They are usually a day session on a Saturday commencing at 10:00 and finishing 16:30. It is a great opportunity to get hands on experience under the guidance of an artist.
