It's that
time again. Spring is here and along with the daffodils and young lambs comes
A.G.M. time. It's the same for any organisation large or small but as I'm a
doer, I always seem to end up with a committee place I don't really want. It's
very easy to get on to a committee but it's bl---y hard to get off without
incurring resentment and ill will, so unless there is a willing member, keen to
step in, you're stuck with me for another year.
Clubs are not
to everyone's taste. I have a strange relationship with them, as on the
plus side you meet people with similar tastes and interests and are forced by
the club itinerary to attempt things you may otherwise not do, whilst on the
other hand you don't always get to do what you want, when you want.
The Living
Well Art Club suits me as the monthly programme means we paint subjects that
would otherwise be avoided for a host of reasons, yet allows us to follow our
own interests just as avidly. Then of course there are the workshops that help
us to try, or further develop, new skills. It's all a question of balance and
to be frank I think we have got it about right because if we only painted what
we wanted to then we may as well stay at home. On the other hand, if we only
painted to a programme, we would resent not painting what we want There, I've
got that off my chest- time to volunteer again!!!!
