Finchley Art Society Spring Exhibition, Trinity Church Centre, Nether Street, North Finchley, Saturday until May 11, 9am to 6pm, 2pm to 6pm on Sunday

Finchley Art Society has been meeting since 1949, bringing together people interested in art, from complete beginners to professionals.

Betty Hiteshi, of Wentworth Road, Barnet, who has been a member of the society for eight years, is one of those showing her work.

She says: "I've always liked painting. Going to the group means I meet people and it gets me out of the house. It's very friendly - everybody's willing to help you if you need it."

As well as the usual selection of members' works on paper and canvas, this exhibition will include ceramics and a separate display of paintings by former society president, Doris Manning.

Entry is free. The exhibition is closed on bank holidays and Thursday May 1. For more information, call 020 8959 6530 or 020 8446 3327.
