The big topic this summer has been the lack of water.

Leicester Sketch Club has been helping artists to develop their artworks since 1898, when artists met monthly to have their work critiqued. We continue the legacy with sketching, social activities and a couple of critiques a year, and have great fun all the while.

On Saturday 26 July the annual Boules and Buffet night was held at the home of Iain and Denise Bell. The weather was kind and 36 people enjoyed the evening. Thanks go to Iain and Denise for hosting the event, Denise, Kathy and Lynne for the lovely buffet and to Lynne and Dave for organising the teams. 

Energisation, (as it is called), between Kettering and South Wigston junction took place on Monday 28 July.
