August

We have been having a picnic the last few years in the one of the two months that we don't meet for lettering (the other being December and the Christmas luncheon). This year we decided to have it in Redwood Park in Surrey because it was the tenth anniversary of us having lost one of our members, Diana Haines. Another group of her friends have placed a bench in her honour at the park and we thought it fitting to have our picnic close by that location. 

 In celebration of

Trust in the circle. To end is to begin.

As with every potluck event, calligraphers do know how to cook and eat well! It was also Trevor's birthday so we even had birthday cake! Hope you enjoyed your day Trevor. Even though it was a warm day, we were shaded by a large tree - the park is all about trees planted by two brothers many years ago. There are some interesting species within the park.  

 Happy Birthday Trevor!
with Kathleen and Shannon

 Great selection for lunch.

 Eileen has an iPad, it just won't be the same
seeing her without her camera!

Lunch lineup!

ask Fay about this one!

A wonderful day for the 13 of us who were able to attend and I think the consensus of opinion was to meet at the park again next year but perhaps try and get a table closer to the parking lot.
