The Fakenham Gallow Sports Centre
The Tottenham Outrage of 1909
The True Crime group has booked Peter Lawrence to talk at its next meeting on
The Tottenham Outrage of 1909 – two Latvian robbers go on a shooting rampage on the streets of Tottenham and Walthamstow, killing a child and a police officer and leaving 21 people injured – you just couldn’t make this up! But the events fed into an increasing paranoia about immigration culminating in the siege of Sidney Street.
Anyone who has heard Peter Lawrence will know what an excellent speaker he is, and the True Crime group would be delighted to welcome you as a guest to what we are sure will be a fascinating lecture. We will have to make a charge of £3 for those who are not already members of the group, but this will include refreshments.
Please let Susan Riddle know if you will be coming – by email preferably at susaneriddle@gmail.com, or phone 01328 855270
The Sports Centre is part of the Fakenham Racecourse complex and is accessed from the road leading from the centre of Fakenham towards Hempton. The entrance is on Hempton Road almost opposite Jewson’s. Drive all the way up the drive and the Sports Centre is on the left after the tennis courts which are on the right. There is ample parking. The Sports Centre has a bar that you can use before or after the meeting, including light lunches.

The Ups and Downs of an artist's life
Judith Key
On November 12th Judith Key delighted the monthly meeting audience with a practical demonstration of how to paint a landscape in watercolour. Judith specialises in Landscape, Marine and Animal portraiture and her work can be seen online at www.judithkeyartists.weebly.com .The website is well worth a visit not only for the quality of the paintings but also for the story which is told alongside each of them. Judith talked as she first sketched in pencil the barest outline of the landscape and then painted, explaining the brushwork and specific colours which she was using.
