Beth Cheney from First Rathfriland Presbyterian Church was the guest speaker last Thursday evening (19 April) at the last Railway Street PWA meeting of the 2006-2007 session. Beth gave an interesting demonstration of painting on stone using the contours of the stone to form landscapes. Most of the scenes Beth paints are of the Mourne Mountains and during the evening she also displayed some of her canvas paintings of the Mournes.

The new office-bearers for the 2007-8 session are Elma Lindsay - President, Phyllis Spence - Vice-President, Anna Toombs - Secretary and Jean Murray will continue as Treasurer. Three new members were elected to the PWA Committee to replace those who have completed their 3-year term. The newly-elected members are - Barbara Bailie, Elizabeth Bridgett and Margaret Power who will join existing committee members Moya McLean, Winifred Cameron, Joan Kane, Norma Coggins (PWA Link President) and Liz Menown (PWA Link representative).

A summer outing to the Isle of Doagh on Saturday 12th May with evening tea in Wellington Street Presbyterian Church in Ballymena will bring another busy year for the Railway Street branch of the PWA to a successful conclusion.
