It seemed to me like a great opportunity for the students to display their work in a gallery setting open to the general public, rather than a school. Pity you missed it.

I am told this is the last of the exhibitions and events for the community in this excellent venue, which enlivens Shaws Rd between the Market and George St in Altrincham. It seems to have only just got going and to be just what the changing high street needs - but now it is gone. Now there is nowehere in the whole area for similar large exhibitions by local people.
