It was a year of many highlights, In October they were invited to set up an exhibition at the Cloughmills Arts and Antiques Fair.

September was the start of their new term and there was a great turn out on Membership Evening when the demo artist was Trevor Lawrence who did an exercise on skyscapes. End of November saw opening two new exhibitions, the Winter Wonderland exhibition in the Antrim Library then the group opened a feature window in Castle Mall for Christmas with stands on the Mall.
