What: This is an opportunity for members to share a brief piece of prose or poetry on a given theme by published writers. It is an informal group whose aim is to encourage enjoyment of poetry and prose and to learn more about poets and authors.

The group has been operating for over ten years and some of the members have been there since the beginning. The whole ethos of the group is to enjoy each other’s company, to have a laugh, to learn and to provide support and a listening ear when needed.

Each month the members of the group agree on a theme for the following meeting and bring with them pieces of prose or poems on that topic to share. We also try to find out some information about the writer or poet. Over the year, we have covered such topics as Buildings, Summer, Joy, colours and Families, The variety of pieces has been so diverse and interesting. An integral part of our meetings continues to be the superb discussion which ensues both during the meeting and afterwards over refreshments.

The group is currently full, but please join our waiting list & we will contact you as soon as space becomes available. If there is sufficient interest, we would be happy to help set up a 2nd group.
