SEOS 2010 to 2012
South East Open Studios in a friends gallery in Beckenham with other talented artists, photographers, textiles and ceramics. A wonderful introduction to creating, presenting and selling Fine-Art photographic prints. Sold a few too but learned the hard way to always take a deposit for a requirement!
Honeywood Museum - March/April 2014
My first and only, to date, one-man exhibition of Fine-Art photographs. A very useful and interesting experience. Sold a few there too!
Marie Curie Calendar 2017
During 2015 & 2016 my wife Jenny and I were part of a small group of local volunteers for Marie Curie, collecting funds through events and local fairs. Another member suggested that I create a local (Carshalton) scene calendar for 2017 which I did. We had an intitial print-run of 100 but those very quickly sold out but we needed more for further events at the end of the year so; we had a further 50 printed. After expenses were returned to me we eventually sold all 150 and £1,000.00 was raised for Marie Curie!

CAOS Art 2019 & 2021
Whilst CAOSArt19 followed the same format of 'Open Studios' as previous years which was a very good format and was very successful for all who participated, including me; CAOSArt21 became Carshalton Artists Open Streets due to the Covid19 pandemic which was also successful but in a different way.
