THANKS for the feature on ARTSISTICK 2002, Artists for Acorns, written by Ann Wheeldon in the Evening News (Monday, May 20).

About 25 artists so far are giving work and the number is growing.

Many of the artists have exhibited widely and it should be a lively and interesting show.

I really would like to thank Kingsway English Centre for letting us use their premises and Worcester College of Technology for helping us with our printing.

There are running costs involved and if there is a local sponsor out there who would like to help us help the Acorns then I would be pleased to hear from them.

Finally, I have to come clean... I'm 65 not 45. My old pupils will be laughing in their lagers.

CHAS PERRETT, Worcester.
