Fun and fundraising were the key elements of an art class at Southend earlier this month.


Tutor Cindy Bunt guided the 10 participants to paint wombats during the full-day session at the Southend Community Club.


A portion of her tuition fee was donated towards the upgrading of the club’s tennis courts.


Ms Bunt in the proprietor of the Post and Rail which is a cooking, gardening and art school located at Compton, on a picturesque 5-acre property.


Classes are held in a normal home and around the region and are designed to provide a relaxed and sociable learning experience.


Her art school prides itself on its professionalism, warmth, spirit of fun and love of painting, especially with friends, old and new.
