Hi all,
With Alan's show fast approaching, I would like to remind all of you that the opening will be held on Friday 28th of May from 6 pm - 8 pm.
The exhibition runs till 30th of June.
Understandably, there is a number of you who are unable to visit the gallery during Alan B. Hayman's expo and with that in mind Resipole Studios have set up an online exhibition of Alan's work. It allows you all to view the work on display from wherever you may be in the world.
The online exhibition will be available to view from our website www.resipolestudios.co.uk on 1st of June.
For those of you who are attending the private view please RSVP - an idea of numbers is always handy!
Look forward to hearing from you.
Andrew and Kim
p.s. For all fellow facebookers, Resipole Studios now has a facebook page. Check us out!!

Interruption of Power Supplies.
These are an inconvenience for everyone and whilst we can all take certain steps to mitigate the effects of them those primarily at risk are the elderly, and in particular people living alone.
We are a relatively small and caring community and it is hoped that any potentially vulnerable individuals would have nearby family, friends or neighbours who would come to their assistance. If you are one of these individuals but have no such help, or perhaps more importantly, you know of someone who might require some assistance, perhaps you could offer help. A useful point of contact could also be your Community Council Members who are fully listed on this site. The police would be happy to help anyone needing urgent assistance, Tel: 01866 822222 or 01631 510500.
