Sep 30 - Oct 5 Oakham Victoria Hall Exhibition
This exhibition needs brass "frame plates" screwed either side about two-thirds of the way up the artwork's frame, to enable fixing to walls.

Also we need Stewarding volunteer pairs in shifts in the hall - maybe invite a friend to help - no experience needed.
