Exhibitions

The exhibitions which were organised in the camp provided a focus for creative and commercial activity – and were also social events. The first one was held in August 1915, ¹ while the second was reported in the December edition of that year ². The exhibition in the Autumn of 1916 ³ was a more modest affair than its predecessors, but it was apparently characterised by better quality work. The exhibition of March 1917 ^{4, 5} was highly praised in the newspaper, both in terms of quality, and in terms of the range of items displayed. The article on the final exhibition ⁶, in June 1918 reports on how it had been a success despite various difficulties.
