Just a quick reminder that the poet Jean Atkin is our guest poet at 7.30 this Wednesday (29th April). Open mic poetry readers and performers most welcome as indeed are "just listeners". Please remember we have removed to the Senior Club in Chapel Street, Wem. Park in the main car park and there is a alleyway linking the parking annex on Leek Street through to Chapel Street. The club will be selling hot drinks and soft drink cans. Glasses on hand for your "bring your own" alcoholic drinks if required.

Hope to see you there and do please spread the word.

Thanks,

Tim Dawes
