A Dirty Club or Perhaps Just a Down to Earth Hobby?
The student-run Visual Arts Club provides instruction in various aspects of art, depending on demand—last year pottery, screenprinting and life-drawing, so far this year only pottery. We try, for a modest fee (and with financial aid from the Students' Association), to provide a more "basic" form of constructive relaxation as a relief from University work—a chance to exercise the hands as well as the brain?
Experienced tutors are employed, materials provided and facilities made available (thanks to the University Extension Department) so that students can explore a new dimension from any starting point. Our aim is not to train "production" potters or commercial screenprinters (indeed this is not our job) but rather to foster an interest in design in general or in the case of pottery, an interest in things ceramic.
Although the pressure of work, etc. may seem to preclude an indulgence in such "hobby" activities, even a short time spent in this club appears to broaden one's outlook on design and may even produce more discerning patrons of the arts in years to come.

Calling all Table Tennis Players
Winter's on the way and that's the season for table tennis.
Club night this year will be on Thursdays at 8.30 in the Gym, commencing 13 April. We'd like to see lots of you there, whether you're top grade interclub players or beginners who want to learn the game.
Entries for this year's interclub have to go in soon, and we'd like to enter teams in as many grades as possible—from 'A' grade, where all the top dogs play, to 'H' grade, where raw beginers get a lot of fun.
If you can get to club night on the 13th please do so that we can arrange a committee (volunteers would be very welcome) and also sort out the interclub teams.
If you're interested, but can't come along on the 13th, please phone me at work on 720-030, or at home in the evenings on 849-334.
