Kath Wallace, one of the exhibiting artists, commented “Although the group has been in existence for 11 years and members have exhibited together in Aldeburgh, Bungay, Halesworth, Snape Maltings and the Waveney Valley area, we have never had an exhibition in Norwich. We thought it was time we brought our work into Norwich.’

The original members of the group first got together to provide support to each other and to market their work jointly. For the last 11 years they have held a Trail over several weekends to enable visitors to meet the artists and buy work. This has become very popular and the most recent trail drew over 1600 visitors and generated sales of £24,000 over five days.

Mrs Panton Bacon, wife of South Norfolk MP Richard Bacon, is a great supporter of the arts in South Norfolk. In 2014 she published her grandfather’s memoirs called Six Weeks of Blenheim Summer –An RAF Officer’s Memoirs of the Battle of France 1940. It is a moving account of Air Commodore Panton’s experience as a Bristol Blenheim pilot and time as a Second World War prisoner. She is also well known for her charity Elizabeth’s Legacy of Hope, which she founded with her twin sister Sarah Hope in 2011, following a family tragedy, to bring hope and opportunity to some of the most vulnerable child amputees in the world.
