==Schedule: Each month: the second and the fourth Wednesday ,
Times: 10 am - 12 noon.
Useful tip: bring your own chair or stool.
For meetings there is no need for any firm commitment, nor rspv-s. Just feel free to come if you can, otherwise we will catch up a a later sketching event. (Please note that on the odd rare occasion one member might be the sole member who can make it; in this case you will miss the company of others, but you still do have the opportunity to do your own sketching (the main point of our group). If a sketching meeting is scheduled, and no-one attends: is it still an event?)
Places to visit: we always need tips about places you would like to go to to sketch, so please email them in, or suggest them at your next event. Remember: group-think is powerful-think.
2017 now under way. Companionship & Crayons, Pleasure & Pencils, Support & Sketches.
Sites are selected that include a likely interesting visual component, that provide a variety of experiences between the urbane and the flaura aspect, and for security purposes are fairly public.
