Dear Sketchers,
Hope you are all well and have enjoyed some sketching outdoors while the weather has lasted? 
I'm just letting you have the details below, FYI, in case you are thinking about a venue for Sunday next.   It might be colourful and I think its a worthy cause anyway for health, environmental and animal welfare reasons. 
Might see you there and, if not, catch you sometime soon.
 Best regards,
 Carmel H
