Member Since: June 2008 Posts: 16 Send Message	My dad was in the croydon advertiser when he was about 11 years old and received an award from the mayor of croydon for two pictures he painted date about 1955. I would love to know how to give him a copy of this for his 65th birthday. I have been to the local library in croydon surrey and searched for hours with no sucess. He could have got a place at art school but his parents had six children and couldn't afford for him to go..
