Alison’s collection Heartwood is forthcoming from Indigo Dreams.

Sarah has poems in two forthcoming anthologies and is looking for venues in Oxford for launches (the Albion Beatnik is much missed!).

Sarah and Dorothy will be running one of their Kirtlington poetry workshops next year: provisional date is second weekend in March, the 9th or 10th. More news later!

Pat went to this year’s ‘To Hull and Back’ launch in Bristol (she won a prize for her short story!).

Sue masterminded a fun game with words, which was greatly enjoyed, amidst lots of Christmas drinks and eats.

Poems by Vicky, Pat, Dorothy, Lyn & Bill were workshopped.
