It was part of a series of community events planned towards funding an extension to the church.

Feedback included “excellent tuition; he was very clear and inspiring” and “after he had clearly described strategies I was amazed to see my second attempt looked like a real drawing”.

There was a sketchers’ competition as well. The 26 entries were displayed in the church and the first prize was awarded to Tony Brown for his drawing of a horse.

Three entrants came second: two by Sue Thompson (flowers and a man relaxing on a sofa) and a drawing of two ladies sitting on a bench by Don Beards.

The first prize for the children’s section was the drawing of a kestrel by Harvey Stimpson.

£65.50 was made for the church extension funds.

The next event is the ‘What we do Supper’ on Thursday March 8 when during a two-course meal, there will be a number of 10-minute talks by people introducing their businesses or charities.

The evening starts at 7.30pm. For tickets or to speak at the event, contact rjwestwell@hotmail.com Tickets are also available from Witchford Post Office.
