Monday 3rd July 2017 7.30 - 10.30
The Launch of POEMS TO KEEP
55 poets have contributed, either by entering the Brian Dempsey Memorial Competition or as invited poets. We're very proud of the book, which this year has an international flavour and includes poems from poets in Spain, Greece, France, Switzerland, the USA, India and Bulgaria, as well as Surrey and all corners of the British Isles.
At the Launch we'll celebrate all the contributors and as many as can attend will be there reading their poems. There will be an open mic for the audience, restricted to one poem or two minutes per person, because we hope and anticipate that many of our UK-based poets will come along to read. Free entry for all, as usual.

Farnham Speedy Writing GroupIf you live within travelling distance of the Arts Centre at
Farnham Maltings Bridge Square, Farnham, Surrey, GU9 7QR - why not take advantage of the opportunity to join the Farnham Writers Group there any Tuesday evening during school term times for a couple of hours of fast creative writing on topics set by members of the group. It's a friendly, informal meeting, in a room provided free by the Art Centre, a great way to put aside space and time for reflection and freewriting. Poems, short stories, even the germs of a novel, can sprout in the fertile soil of this companionable group. Andy B J Low usually leads the group, but the group belongs to all who attend it. It costs you nothing - why not go along one Tuesday and dip in? The room is to be found up the external stairs to the right of the main entrance to the Maltings from its car park. It's on our events calendar - 7.30 - 9.30 on Tuesday evenings, with a break during school holidays but beginning again after Christmas on 10th January 2017.
