As part of the exhibition this year, some members of the society took part in a Landscape Challenge in Bury Art Museum. The subject of the challenge was the Irwell Valley Sculpture trail and members painted a picture of a sculpture of their choice in the allotted time. Great fun was had by all, photos included below.
