NEWS FROM THE WAVERTREE SOCIETY (Sep.2022):

A NEW DESMOND ROSS CALENDAR FOR 2023
For the last two years, the Wavertree Society has been proud to publish calendars featuring the colourful artwork of the late Des Ross. This year, his family have produced one, which we are pleased to be able to offer for sale. The paintings featured include 7 scenes of Wavertree (where Des lived for many years), 3 of Garston (where he was born and raised) and 3 from elsewhere in Liverpool.

A4 sized, spiral bound and ready for wall hanging, the new Calendar will be on sale (price £7.50) on Heritage Open Day at the Lock-up on 18th September, 12noon-4pm, and at the Frank Hornby talk, Olive Mount Community Centre, on Sunday 25th September, 2pm-4pm.

From October 2022 onwards, we hope to be able to offer the Calendar for sale by mail order. Please see our special Calendar Sales page (when updated) for details and prices.
