As we approached our twenty first year in business, we thought it was only right to celebrate with a large exhibition featuring our most popular designs. The Sam Scorer Gallery on Drury Lane next to Lincoln Castle, proved to be a fabulous venue to hold our special event. It was initially very daunting when we carried our numerous boxes of work into the gallery and saw for the first time exactly how large a space we had to fill.

Thank you to all our many friends and family who came from far and wide to support us on our open evening. It was also a great opportunity to introduce our work to a new audience and we met lots of new customers. Many thanks to the Sam Scorer Gallery Committee for giving us the opportunity too exhibit at this wonderful exhibition hall; especially the artist Peter Mongomery who gave us lots of valuable advice. Thanks once again to Terry Mason for taking some professional photographs of the show.

Finally a special mention to a lovely man called Richard Tillett who was at hand day and night to inform us of the gallery protocol and popped in most days for a chat. He told me about his fascinating life as an antique dealer on Kings Road, where he had a shop for forty years opposite the Beatles recording studio. His tales of Mick Jagger jogging pass his premise with four body guards and selling work to all the glitterati of the 1960s and 1970s were legend. We were very saddened to hear that shortly after our show Richard died. I just hope someone wrote down his memoirs. RIP Richard
