The organiser for the previous years’ events is said to be suffering from dementia and will no longer be able to continue organising the events – there is a possibility that it will re-start in 2011 under new leadership.

Updated! The White Hart is already a place to see the ‘Off the Walls‘ art, some painted bollards, and on Father’s Day 2010, it was the place to create some art ‘On the Ground’!

Many local kids took up the challenge to create some art in the car park – who knew Whitchurch had so many Pavement Picassos?!

Members of Whitchurch Arts judged the drawings. Top prize of a Sunday Carvery for 4 went to Bella for her drawing. Everyone else was a winner, too – all took home fantastic 2nd place prizes, donated by Andy and Julie of the White Hart.

Congratulations!
