Anyway, on 3rd November our sketch group met at The Bakers Cafe in the Old Swindon Railway Village, built 170 odd years ago for the workers of Brunel's Great Western Railway Works. Until recent years there were three public houses in the village, The Bakers Arms, The Cricketers and The Glue Pot. Only The Glue Pot remains as a pub, but the Bakers Arms building has recently been taken over by the community and is trying to establish itself as a meeting place and cafe. Once again, we had a very good crowd, with 20 sketchers turning up.
I hadn't intended to take a panorama, so it is a bit disjointed |
My minimal effort for the day - A very old organ in one corner and a mosaic teapot on the mantlepiece |
