Thank You!
I just wanted to say a huge thank you to everybody who came along to Ivinghoe Community Hub at the weekend to support the Artists’ Network Bedfordshire’s art exhibition. It was a superb weekend and a terrific location. But the best part – I think for all of us who were exhibiting – was getting…
