They look forward to their Wednesday morning meetings at the Dalmuir C.E. Centre. Members work at their own pace, using a wide variety of their own materials and select their subject matter. With no formal teaching they help each other. When funds allow they bring in professional artists for tuition and enjoy educational visits to Art Galleries. Over the years they have held many exhibitions, at Botanic Gardens, Glasgow, Hillhead Library, Lomond Shores and Backdoor Gallery at Dalmuir Library. They also support 'Little Arts of Love' for the Mary's Meals Charity organized by Mrs. Jo Torrance, one of their members. They run a successful Schools Art Competition, sponsored by local businesses for WDC Primary 4 and 5 pupils.  Starting in 2007 with just 2 schools, 7 schools now participate, submitting over 400 entries created by their imaginative and talented pupils. Support from Age Scotland, the Clydebank Trust, Alexander Cross Cameron Fund and additional grant providers has been extremely important, enabling the group to carry out their activities.
