CREATIVE residents looking to develop a new hobby as a New Year’s resolution are invited to join an art society in Acton Bridge.

There is a membership fee of £50, payable twice a year, which covers free attendance at every session.

Admission is £3 for prospective members for a trial period of thee consecutive sessions.
