CHAGFORD-based Helpful Holidays has chosen the Marine Conservation Society as its charity for 2011. 

Moray Bowater, general manager of Helpful Holidays, says: 'We're delighted to be working with Catherine Forshall, a gifted and highly regarded painter, to raise funds for the important work of the Marine Conservation Society.'

Catherine has been invited to produce five signed, limited edition prints to be sold on an exclusive basis by the Marine Conservation Society. The prints can be viewed, together with several of Catherine's original paintings, at the Monks Withecombe Gallery, one mile outside Chagford, and purchased from http://www.catherineforshall.co.uk">www.catherineforshall.co.uk

Catherine is donating 50% of the value of her print sales to the Marine Conservation Society.
