The Haydn Orchestra on Saturday 31 January

 Hello Artists,

Once again we have an opportunity to draw the Haydn Orchestra in rehearsal. The rehearsal starts at 2.30 on the afternoon of the concert and the concert is at 7.30 at St Michael's Church in Highgate. Thank you Alison Glaister and Pauline Treen for offering us this opportunity. Do remember to wrap up warm and try to be there in good time so as not to disturb the rehearsal.

St Michael's Church, South Grove, N6 6BJ

The nearest underground is Highgate, a 22 min walk away. Archway Station is probably a better stop with buses running up the hill to Highgate. The 214 and 263 buses stop in Highgate.

New Year's outing on Tuesday 3 January 2017

The first outing of 2017 is on Tuesday 3 January to the Museum of London near the Barbican. We'll meet at 11am at the main entrance by the turnstiles: the museum is free in spite of the turnstiles. There are paying exhibitions as well as the free permanent collection: at present there is an exhibition on the Great Fire of London.

Usually we spread out at this venue and it is dark in places, so we may be difficult to find, if you miss us at the entrance. We will meet again at 1pm for lunch downstairs at the Benugo Sackler Hall cafe in the modern galleries. My (Janet) number for the day is 07815 772857.

The Museum's website is here and it has a 'plan your visit' and 'how to get there section'.

Art in the Park visits Hoxton

Seven Art in the Park enthusiasts arrived at the Hoxton Overground Station on Tuesday 25 October on a grey but dry day. The views of the railway tracks with Canary Wharf in the background appealed strongly to some of us, while an old VW Camper Van and an old garage with an automobile mural and lots of notices spoke to others. Also, as before, the elegancies of the Geffreye Museum facade close by drew one artist's attention.

We felt that we had a good morning when we collected in the Geffreye Museum's cafe for coffee and lunch and talked outdoor painting against the background hubbub.

Our next sketch-day will be to Fenchurch Street Station, details to follow shortly.
