********************************************

SPS Critique Group


We are a small & friendly group that get together to chat about our work & how it can be improved.
The critique Group is now showing success in our club competitions.

The group helps cut out some of the things that the judges might pick up on & little tips & ideas
may help your work. All feedback is helpful.

We meet the first Tuesday in the month - 7.30 at 72, Burnley Rd, Ainsdale. PR8 3LR.
You can come along with work, two unmounted prints A4 or above or just come & join us for a chat.
