NEWS QUIZ MENTION ON 29 OCTOBER

Alan Langford told us that Totton Art Society was mentioned on the News Quiz radio programme on 29th October. The News Quiz is a topical panel quiz show, chaired by Sandi Toksvig, taking its questions from the week's news stories
Right at the end one of the panellists says:

“...a small ad in the New Forest Post sent in by Alistair Dineen.  

Totton Art Society demonstration on using mixed media to paint a chicken. Refreshments available.”

Missing out the ‘on how ‘ between on and using sounds funny to non-artists I guess.
