Announcement from Brian Britton, LAS Chair - Sue Moir
"It is with deep sadness that I inform you that Sue Moir died peacefully at the Great Western Hospital today, Monday 4th November. Many of you will remember Sue with deep affection.
Sue has given sterling service to LAS over many years both as a member and Committee member. Amongst other duties, she ensured that, for many years, the Thursday Group was efficiently run at both The Trout and the Pavilion.
Sue will be sorely missed, both as a friend and a stalwart LAS member."

Lechlade Art Society at Oxfordshire Artweeks 2024
Lord Faringdon, our Patron, kindly allowed the Society to have a week-long Open Studios event at Buscot Park. Buscot Park is in Oxfordshire so this enabled the Society to participate in Oxfordshire Artweeks which is a county-wide event throughout May. Ten of our members showed work and demonstrated their skills from Saturday 4th to Sunday 12th May inclusive, 2pm to 6pm every day. If you missed it there are photographs here:
