Remember, remember the 5th of November

An evening of poetry

It had been planned to hold this event at a member's home, but in the end we all agreed to hold it via Zoom (as we had done earlier this year). But this did not detract from what was a most enjoyable evening.

There were 11 of us in all, and thanks go to Richard Ford for putting together the programme, below.
