June Meeting

Thanks to Phyll's and Richard's efforts at the May meeting, two new members came on June 27th Gill Bailey and Rosemary McMillen. We treated them to our usual wide variety of poetry (electric, electric, emetic? well one of those I expect) We included a few about the jubilee which was the supposed topic for that month.
Inspite of that they actually said they'd come again!
As Pat had been to unwell to come Myra took her some poems that afternoon.
No one escapes.
Next month Wedneday July 25th 10 till 12noon we should be CHEZ Phyll and Richard in there lovely home and ECCENTRIC garden.
Subject for poems Holidays.

March Report

Only 5 met at Phyl's today to swop poems about Spring. The sights, scents and sounds of it came in through her french windows from the beautiful garden. No wonder poets find spring such an inspiring subject! We think we know all the poems about it, then someone bring a new one to surprise us. Thank you all.
Next month we will meet at Myra's on WEDNESDAY April 25th 10 till noon. (We have changed the day to accommodate the DIY DISCO on Fridays.)
Subject: Weather, any aspect, interpret as you wish.
Please note, most of us belong to Hanger Farm poets too.
So 2 days after, we will be performing in their evening show FIRING ON ALL SYLLABLES
Only £4 a ticket from Hanger Farm on: 8066 7683. Do ring'n'reserve.
This time we shall use microphones, so every wonderful word will be heard!
And Kitchen Sync's exciting and moving singing will again complement our poems.
All welcome
Myra M.
