If you feel that you can do something, or want to help in anyway, please contact Craig or myself also just come by and visit and see what's happening. We have a meeting each Wednesday at around 8.30pm at which you are welcome to come with your proposals. The last poetry evening was a very surprising one. Although there ware not many people in the audience, the quality of the performers was exceptional. Heading the bill was 'Stef Wauters' with his percussion poetry which is some thing entirely original and exciting... A surprise guest was Iriel Sayeed, who just turned up and did what she does better than ever. Ken Parsons was also on top form with his biting satire on the new age and astrology. Music was provided by T-Bone Fisher & Carlos. Many other poets performed that evening and apart from lacking a large audience the evening was great.
