AMATEUR artists from Wirral are preparing for their first Summer Exhibition of mainly watercolour paintings.

Members of the recently formed Wethersfield Group of Amateur Artists will display more than 150 watercolours, most of which will be for sale, at the Little Theatre, Birkenhead, on Saturday and Sunday, June 20-21.

The exhibition, which will also feature some crafts, will be opened by Coun Mrs Myrra Lea, a former Mayor of Wirral.
