In August we will  enjoy reading poems on ‘Friendship’  and in September we will  turn our attention to women poets. In October we will be returning to ‘F’, with the theme of ‘Flying’, in all its aspects. We meet in The Angel at 10 am on the first Friday in the month and would make […]

We are now happily ensconced in The Angel for our monthly meetings, and very much enjoying having refreshments brought to us at half time!

We meet on the first Friday of the month upstairs in the Congregational Church at 10am. New members would be made very welcome.

Having ‘Celebrated’ in December, we will be welcoming the New Year by reading poems on the theme of ‘Time’ in January.
