Members met each week at the Plumber's Loft - a tea room above shops next to the Cock Inn - drawing and painting still-life subjects and later, portraiture. When the Plumber's Loft was demolished the Further Education Centre in Victoria Road became the regular home for the club. In later years members met at St Georges School then at Sir John Lawes School. The club now meets at the Public Halls (small hall) on most Thursday evenings from September to May. During the summer break, there are weekly sketching days around the county.
From the original 50 members, club membership has grown to 200.
