The aim of the group is to develop our skills and knowledge in drawing and painting, from the total beginner to the more experienced, using various mediums in an atmosphere of mutual help and encouragement. Above all, we intend to have fun!

The Painting Group meets in the Scout and Guide Headquarters in Matlock Green every Wednesday during termtime from 10.00 a.m. to 12 noon.

There is a charge of £2.00 per member per week to cover the cost of room hire and refreshments.

The group’s coordinator is Gill Oldroyd, who can be contacted via the link above

Each month we have a different “theme” whereby members can work on a painting – either at home or in the session On one of the monthly sessions we try to run a mini-workshop.

Please note that another painting group, known as the Art Group, meets weekly on Tuesday mornings, and a Painting for Pleasure group that meets monthly on Thursday.
