Meetings are always on Fridays, usually towards the end of the month:
- Face-to-face at Jolt Studios, First Floor - accessible by lift - 27 St Aldate Street, Kings Square, GL1 1RP 10.15 for 10.30 - noon. There is a small cost, payable by cash at each session, to cover the room hire (which includes free 'proper' coffee).
- To structure our meetings we are using The Oxford Book of Twentieth Century English Verse chosen by Philip Larkin (1973), as a complement to our erstwhile choice of anthology (The Nation’s Favourite Poems, BBC books, 1996). Both are easy to get secondhand.
- Online meetings, 10.30 - c11.45 run during the winter period only. The Zoom link is emailed a week beforehand to everyone who has indicated an interest, with an invitation to join and request for volunteers to read their choice of verse on a given theme.
- Summer sessions: we run a short series of workshops with a particular focus in August.
