The Loudon Sketch Club
1 AM - ^ A Member of the Royal Institute and Royal
/* j British Artists, acted as President, but last year
1 &YW Kd-Mh^ «g~"SiVy) ^ -T/*»v_ ^e c'uk decided t0 nave an annual president,
... V'Y^T^ an<^ Dudley Hardy, R.I., was elected to the
as " vice," the
post of secretary and treasurer being assigned, as
in the beginning, to Walter Fowler, R.B.A.
The council originally consisted of the ten
founders, but has now been increased to fourteen.
There is no difference between a council mem-
ber and an ordinary one, except that the former
has a voice in all business matters pertaining to
the club. The hanging committee is nominated
yearly, and consists of two council and two
ordinary members. At the time Mr. Haite
resigned the presidency, the club presented him
with a silver tankard in commemoration of his
'keeping a promise" by lawson wood
For the first three years the club held its
meetings and enjoyed its suppers at the Modern
Gallery in Bond Street, but last year the rooms
of the Continental Gallery were decided on instead,
while Long's Hotel, across the street, lays the
Friday evening supper in a private dining-room.
The rooms at the Continental are more suited to
the requirements of the men, both for their work-
ing and during exhibition times, and it is quite
likely that this will be the permanent home of
the club. At the first meeting, five years ago,
there were fourteen members, while to-day the
roll-call consists of 139 names, which, of course,
includes lay members. About forty-five to fifty
covers the active working number who make up
the sketching party every week, some coming with
pronounced regularity, while others are less de-
voted to their vows. For three years G. C. Haite, "trouble" by frank Reynolds
