Botanic Gardens - 2pm Sunday 16th! All Welcome!!

Hi all,



Well the Botanic Gardens seems to be the popular choice for this weekend! I can't wait - haven't been in ages and it is just so nice and toasty in those glasshouses! Must remember to use pencil and not ruin my nice new shiny markers though!

So - meet at 2pm outside the Garden's cafe, and meet back there again at 4pm. We will most likely go across the road for coffee as there are too many of us to be trying to get space in there.. but who knows.. we'll…

If this is your first time or we're entirely unlikely to recognise you since the reconstruction surgery then I urge you to wave about a sketch pad enthusiastically. Oh and be nice to the beardy dude who says awesome and 'sup just a little bit… Read on...
