L.S.A. started to grow into it's main format after leaving college mainly as a way of keeping contact, but also as a way of keeping the ball up in the air. I met Bob Meecham working in an aluminium foundry and then it really kicked off when Tony came back from the states after having been deported. We were holding meetings at my place in Bromley and also at John Hosking's in Folkestone. It all carried on until I moved to Cardiff and subsequently went to India with my wife Anne.
I bought a leather-bound note book, about the size of a family bible in Calcutta in December 81. I started using it as a kind of "no limits" art diary involving quite a few people, but basically centring around the L.S.A. format.
This diary carried on for quite a while and could almost be seen to cover the main thrust of what we were up to - especially in the 80's.

Unfortunately, the diary and I parted company a couple of years ago, which for me was a little heart breaking.
Earlier this year I decided to jot down in a notebook memories as they surfaced. - So I believe what has emerged is a summery of generally a much wider view of what happened or was covered under the L.S.A. umbrella.
I aim here to date the pages chronologically and put them into order on this blog. Having this as a framework I hope to further embellish with surviving paintings, photos, etc.

Please feel free to say whatever you feel.
I would be more than happy if your comment turns into a longer statement than mine.
I feel it adds to the body of work and as yet you are one of a small nuber of people who read this anyway!
