The Stanza group meets monthly on Wednesday evenings. We are in good health with 25 active members. The standard is high and the monthly meetings very enjoyable and stimulating. Two of our members, Will Kemp, Miles Cain and Katherine Crocker, have recently had first collections published. Always happy to welcome new members.
