Tuesday

Slough Writers Group

Yesterday evening was the last group meeting of this academic year. It included the AGM for 2022/23 and was mostly given over to the Chair's Report.

Following that, the guest poetry judge Roger Stennett joined in via 'Zoom'. He gave short feedback on each of the 14 entries and announced the winner: Lee Taylor.

Then came the annual awards and I was delighted to have been awarded the 'The Sandy Lee-Guard Award for Endeavour'!


The 'formal' part of the evening wound up at around 9pm and we all retired to the bar.
