ABOUT
Troon Art Club was founded just after WW2 in 1949. The catalogue of their first exhibition, held in the Malvern Tea Rooms, shows the name of the founder members including Charles Summers and Albert Duffus. The group met originally in the British Legion Clubrooms every Wednesday evening throughout the winter and subscription was five shillings. By the time the club held their seventh exhibition the number of members had doubled. Over the years the club has gone from strength to strength and membership numbers now stands at around one hundred.
