NEXT EVENT:  

The Mayor of Bath's Art Show 2014 

The Mayor of Bath and The Bath West Rotary Club are encouraging artists to get their applications in now for the 2014 Art Show in the Guildhall on October 31 and 1 November.  Last year a record number of paintings were sold, which meant a bumper bonus for the Mayor's and Rotary President's charities. 

Profits from the show will be shared between The Mayor of Bath's Relief Fund, which helps local people facing hard times and the Friends of Young Carers charity.
