Abstract

On Thursday, 5 October, we had our final outing of 2023. Members started early from their homes for the long drive to Somerset East. We met up at the Walter Battiss Art Museum, a beautiful double-storey settler-era house on a road full of old houses. The very enthusiastic curator, Ros Turner, kindly served tea and coffee on our arrival – it had been a two-and-a-half-hour journey from Port Alfred. She also ran a video, gave us a talk and showed us around.
