This was our Christmas Celebration with a 'Surprise Speaker' and buffet lunch.

The speaker was Dave Draws (named as he draws and creates map illustrations) and the presentation was 'Unconventional Illustration Path'

Dave is based in Cheadle, Manchester and works producing murals and maps, some of his work is local but he has also worked abroad in Berlin, Hong Kong and Paris to name but a few of the places.

His work has developed into packaging eg 'Lancashire Tea', Rum bottles and labels, whilst his maps have been put onto mugs, place mats, cushions and trainers.

 During Covid he created an NHS map Manchester with the money going to the NHS, he now undertakes workshops including some in schools and also has an online shop.

The lunch a selection of savoury and sweet items, a drink and tea or coffee, was much appreciated providing a festive social gathering for members.
