Helo bawb - Happy International Dylan Thomas Day!
Be that as it may, there’s no change to the usual meetup details, apart from the possibility that on Friday we might be using the round table not the coffee table area (see below):
-
12:00 Tuesday 16th May / dydd Mawrth 16eg Mai ( via Zoom -get in touch for login details if you’d like to join us )

12:00 Friday 19th May/ dydd Gwener 19eg Mai ( ‘Space for Reading’, Weston Library, Broad Street, Oxford - inside entrance hall to the right, next to windows & opp. side from the excellent cafe. NB This last Friday we were allocated the round table adjacent to the coffee table as a poetry group had been allocated the coffee table area. I’m checking if this will be the regular arrangement but, in the meantime, do keep in mind that possibility )

Hello everyone! I’ve been busy the last few months and I’m not sure when I’ll next be able to join you, but I’m grateful the meetups and walks are still taking place. In the meantime, I wanted to share this mural that appeared in East Oxford a couple of months ago to celebrate Florence Park as ‘Little Wales’ (created by @thebigorangem):
You can find it outside Larkrise Primary School on Boundary Brook Road.
