Warwickshire Railways: Railway Art

Alan Fisher

Since retirement Alan has taken up painting as a past time and whilst he considers himself an amateur its clear to many that his talents should not be underestimated. Alan wishes to encourage others to join him every Wednesday afternoon at 2 o'clock at St Johns Church Hall, Church Road, Perry Barr (dates and times correct in November 2013) where under the tuition of Geoff Stubins they can attend the same Art Class run by Age UK.
