JUNE - A group of members undertook a trip to Amsterdam organised by Irene Briscoe. During their five-day stay their courier, Terry, arranged visits to art galleries and museums as well as several interesting towns and cities including Delft, Hague and Bruges (here the Group had a trip on a canal). Accommodation was in an hotel set in a large park which also featured a bird sanctuary, home to exotic species such as flamingos and humming birds. All members enjoyed the trip and were fortunate in having fine weather. Irene, convenor of the Brentwood U3A Sketching Group, made sketches (below) of some of the places they visited.
