Time for some help

On Thursday I have a really busy class for 2 art groups who are joining together for an oil painting workshop. Both groups are from neighbouring villages and I've given demo's in the past to each of them. It's going to be an 8 hour day and will be manic loading the car, unloading, setting up and clearing away, let alone making and serving the drinks, keeping the paint topped up & cleaning the brushes. In fact I would be done in before I even started. I've had various voluntary helpers in the past and made huge use of several family members and friends - even student residents of the Apollo Studio. Had the class fallen at the weekend I'd have had a couple of people who could help out. Rather than struggle on my own I've decided to employ someone to help out. And the relief behind that decision is well worth every penny. I'll see if he can take some nice class snaps for me at some stage. I hope I'm in the position to do this more often.
