| Art Club History |
| Rev Douglas Murray, the Minister of Cambusnethan Old Parish Church, attended a local art group and discovered he had a talent for painting and tutoring so he started his first class, the Thursday Class, in September 1990 in the Church Hall. It proved successful so he started a second class, the Tuesday Class, in Morningside Church Hall in September 1991. In September 1992 he started the Sunday Class in Cambusnethan Church Hall. Rev Douglas Murray left Cambusnethan Old to preach in Lausanne, Switzerland in 1994. David Gilchrist [a talented local artist] took over the reins that same year. Shortly before the closure of Morningside Church the Tuesday Class moved to Bonkle Parish Church. Unfortunately, due to work commitments, David had to give up the Tuesday class a few years ago. However he continued to teach the Thursday and Sunday classes until May 2007. Sep.07 to Feb.08 Local Bothwell artist Muriel Andrew became our tutor but unfortunately had to give it up due to ill health and we wish her good luck and good health in the future. March 08 A.G.M. Due to lack of numbers the decision was taken to down size to just one class per week. A vote was taken with the majority voting for the Sunday class to remain and the Thursday class to close as of March 2008. Since Muriel left, the club continued without a tutor until April when the President Margaret Calder found a new tutor...Thomas Carrigan who is a young Art teacher in one of our local High Schools. |
