On Tuesday, 28 July, we met up at Hole Park Estate, Rolvenden, for our second painting out day.   The weather was windy and sunny but there were pockets of sunshine which kept the day at a nice temperature for painting and socialising.   13 members attended.

On Monday, 13 July, we held our first painting out day for this year at Teston (Bridge) Country Park.   The weather was sunny and warm and 21+ members took part.   Everyone spread out to paint and we all met up at 12.30 for a socially distanced lunch break.   It was great to meet up with people we haven't seen for months.  Brilliant day!   

Details of further meetings will follow shortly.
