Without them, our show isn't possible. We donated $10,000 to our local organisations and charities that helped us.

Our donation receivers helped with tasks such as rubbish collection, selling shirts, setting up fencing, guiding/parking cars and track work (Mudgee RFS).

The VRA has thanked us for our donation, as this donation and previous donations by us, has helped them equip their new VRA vehicle.

Robin Johnson from the Hospital Auxiliary has thanked us as our donation has just helped them order a new trauma bed.

Today, we are also advertising our very NEW show, the Kandos Burnout Spectacular, the event is going to be a one, day event of Burnouts and a car display being held on August 10.

There will be a limit of 100 burnout competitors accepted, with entries closing on July 10.

Entry forms, pricing and further information can be found on our Facebook page. Photos, Storey by Stacey Walker

Standing room only last Saturday night at Gallery 47 when Geoffrey Payne's exhibition was opened.

The crowd of friends and relatives enjoyed Geoffrey's acrylic expressionist paintings.

With wine supplied by de Beaurepaire's, wines Rylstone and a sumptuous supper supplied the exhibition was a very pleasant occasion.

Geoffrey Payne was born in London and spent a number of his childhood years in Africa.

He has painted, printed and constructed art all his life.

Mainly interested in Botanic painting in 1981 he travelled to Asia in pursuit of tropical flowers to paint.

He ended the trip in Australia where he has lived ever since.

In1998 he had the first of four strokes and has lived with Parkinson's Disease for many years.

Over time he has continued to paint and despite losing the fine motor skills required for fine watercolours he has adapted his style and approach and become fluid and abstract.

He has continued exhibiting works in many solo and group shows.

Geoffrey's works frequently reflect the Rylstone area (particularly Cox's Creek Road) and his day to day experiences of life.

In this exhibition some of the paintings have had the left side 'neglected', as he doesn't see the to his left.

Other canvasses have been turned around so he can paint the whole canvas.

Geoffrey has successfully sold many of his works.

The exhibition will be open until July 3 at the Gallery 47, Saffron Kitchen Café, Louee Street, Rylstone. Grab a fine coffee and enjoys the exhibition.
