17.03.07: 13th Worldwide Sketchcrawl

Saturday 17th March was the 13th Worlwide Sketchcrawl and I am so very pleased to report that some of our members joined me at Chatteris Museum for a whole day's sketching!

Jenny Furlong kindly offered to keep the museum open all day for us and she even brought a sketchbook of her own back from lunch break to take part! - Thankyou Jenny!

Rob Morris supplied us with warm shelter and cupfuls of hot, fresh coffee at lunchtime back at his house - Thankyou Rob!

A very successful day with lots of laughs and plenty of sketching!

Anita, Carol, Louise, Jenny, Rob, Martin, Diane, Joan, Emma-Jane all turned up to join in the fun!

Here are some of the sketches produced on the day:
