Meetings & Exhibitions
The Local
Artists is a group that meets twice each year
(Spring and Autumn) to hold exhibitions at
Weybridge Library Hall.
The
original group was forced to disband after 15 very
successful years. After two years apart, Audrey Laycock,
who had exhibited with the group since 1988,
reformed The Local Artists with many of the
original artists in February 2001.
At the Spring and Autumn
exhibitions, approximately 200 paintings are
shown, all of which are for sale. There are
currently 28 members of the group.

History
The Byfleet Art Group
was founded in 1968 in a very small way when a few
budding artists met at the Byfleet Village Hall to
paint together. Due to the interest of the
headmaster of the local St.Mary's School, the
artists were invited to use the hall at his
school. After many happy years there, finances
forced them to move to various venues in Byfleet,
but in 1996 the group turned full circle and
returned to St Mary's School and are still using
this venue for their weekly meetings. Still
hanging in the school hall is the large oil
painting of Mill Lane, Byfleet, which was
presented to the school in 1970 by one of the
Group's tutors, the late John Brangwyn, to
commemorate the school's project devoted to
Conservation Year.

Current Activities
Over the years the
membership has been constant and approximately 70
members enrol each year. The Group meet every
Tuesday in term-time from 7pm to 10pm. Members
paint together with help from Tutors whenever
required and occasionally still life, portrait
sessions and workshops are arranged. Every year
two indoor exhibitions are held at the Catholic
Church Hall, Madeira Road, West Byfleet, and one
very popular summer open-air event on Plough
Green, Byfleet.
Occasionally members enjoy
an evening off when visiting professional artists
demonstrate their skills in various media.
Non-members are very welcome to attend these
demonstrations.
