Our group brought forward the meeting to Thursday 21st to accommodate Good Friday and a certain royal shindig.
The subject itself included monarchy and royalty, examples of which proved quite tricky to find. Gilbert and Sullivan's "Regular, regular queen" made us laugh and others pause for thought,e.g. Good Queen Bess, Shakespeare's Cleopatra and some home grown comments on 20th century majesties.
Several of us had found the gem "The king asked the queen and the queen asked the dairy maid etc".My overall favourite with such gentle micky taking.....
One member suggested choosing a list of future subjects, so that we can select in advance, when we are reading poems for pleasure.

Drinks and bickies at 10am close at noon.
