Thursday 2nd September - Speakers Lunch - Hugh Belsey Thomas Gainsborough
Hugh Belsey is one of the foremost authorities on British eighteenth-century art. After studying at the universities of Manchester and Birmingham he became Curator of Gainsborough’s House in Sudbury, a post he held for twenty-three years. During his time there the collections were transformed and when he left he was awarded an MBE. In February 2019 Yale University Press published his two-volume catalogue of portraits by the artist. He was recently introduced as ‘This is
Hugh Belsey who knows more about Thomas Gainsborough than he did himself’. Hugh was a star on the following BBC fake or fortune show.

Captained by Maurice Barnes, the Ipswich & Suffolk Bridge Club meets at 9.30 on Tuesday mornings for competitive but friendly duplicate bridge in the Adam Room. Any club member who has experience of playing bridge is welcome to join us but we are not a suitable group for beginners.
Many of our members are keen amateur golfers and the club’s golf section provides regular opportunities to play in friendly competition.
Due to the current situation with COVID, our Scrabble evenings are currently on hold. Once Boris has given the go ahead to lift all restrictions, we are hoping to restart our games.
