**For “no topic”, perhaps you might like to consider poems that might suit the topics that just missed out: “Peace”, “Humour in Poetry”, “ A poetic couple: EB and R Browning” and “Poems in response to music or art”.

*UPDATE: From March 2022, meetings are again being held onsite subject to COVID-19 capacity restrictions.*

Come along to our free discussion group for poetry lovers held on the second Tuesday of each month commencing at 6pm. Recite, listen to and discuss poems in an informal, friendly atmosphere. Half of each meeting is dedicated to a theme.

Offers to chair meetings are always welcome. So too are offers to lead discussion on a nominated poem. The only rule is that one can’t read one’s own poems.
