This one was pointed out to me by Andrew (astro_south) when I first visited Leyburn way way back in 2001. He had a very interesting nickname for them, "the three bears" which stuck till this day. They make for a very interesting view at low power not unlike some of the other more famous galaxy groups like the Fornax cluster. The three main members are easy but there is a fainter 4th member. Not much detail in the individual galaxies though. Anyway have a look at one of my earliest sketches:
