1st April, 1971.

Don’t you think the new Membership Form is certainly well designed especially when it is filled in! If the Gallery is in a much stronger position than it was before the 1970 Festival, it is to a large extent because since then we have increased our Membership of the Friends Organisation by 600. It is essential that the Gallery does not begin to depend on the support of the public from one source, that is Arts Council Funds, though they are most generous. The Gallery has to be seen to be supported by the public which it serves, and the Friends of the Gallery is by far and away the most positive proof that the Gallery flourishes by the wish of so many private individuals who constitute the society from which the Gallery grows and to which it is dedicated.

I am delighted that I have been able in the past to send you regular information about the Gallery’s exhibitions and activities. Unfortunately, due to increased postal and printing costs it will be impossible to continue to send this to you unless you are willing to contribute to our costs by becoming a Friend of the Gallery. We will send you our May calendar, but must hear from you before 14th May if you wish to remain on our mailing list.

Please will you complete the form and send it with your cheque to the Gallery, or preferably complete the Banker's Order section at the bottom of the form.

Yours sincerely,

Richard Demarco.
