Penny Gildea has entered previously and has more information. She would be like to here from anyone who is interested - it's not definate and this would need to be clarified and organised, but maybe if there is enough interest the work could go over as a group of pieces and getting the work there could be discussed / organised somehow.....Penny's email penny@gildea15.freeserve.co.uk
