We enjoyed a wonderful summer of stimulating and creative activities at the new Springfield Park in Tooting, thanks to a special grant from NHS South West London and St Georges, - encouraging our members to visit somewhere new, try something different and get to meet new people
We braved the heat and got very creative, sketching and painting ‘en plein air’ with the artist Lucinda Denning. And we enjoyed a great history walk & talk with historian Geoff Simmons, who had fascinating insights and anecdotes!
Our keen Photographers were snapping up the glorious sunflowers and the Gardening Group visited the inspirational Share Garden Centre and checked out the progress of the wildflower meadows and gardens of this new public park.
On Friday there was a special exhibition in Toast Stores, of the art and photographs, with a celebratory Tea Party, a prize quiz and a fantastic live music session by Swing Driven Thing - much appreciated by our members and locals in the cafe, with Andrew, one of our members, inspired to write a poem to celebrate.
If you missed it, the artworks and photographs will be exhibited again in October at our Art Show in The Project
