Circuit Mission Day Doing and Dreaming – one year on th Saturday 18 April, 10.00am – 3.00pm at Fareham MC Further details in the April Newssheet A New Poetry Group o We are looking into the possibility of forming a poetry group. We envisage that it would meet in an evening about once a month, probably in the home of Peter and Jane Gregory, and every month we’d look at poems on a different theme. o This would not be restricted to religious poetry; we’d hope to look at a wide range of (sometimes challenging) works. The poems would be read, perhaps with some input about the writers and their background, and then there would be time for discussion o If this is something that interests you, please contact Diana Harris or Jane Gregory; then we’ll see if we can get started! Barn Dance June 2015 Peter and Jane Gregory are organising a Barn Dance on Saturday 27th June 2015, in aid of Leukaemia Research. Many people enjoyed last year’s dance, and we hope even more people will be able to come this year. As before, the band will be Tom Gregory’s band iFolk, and the caller will be Peter Gregory. The venue will again be Bedhampton Social Hall, from 7.30–11.00pm. A bar will be available, and a light buffet is included in the ticket price. We hope that people who feel less able to dance will still come along, and enjoy listening to the music, the song spots and the caller. Tickets will not be available on the door, so please buy or reserve your tickets in advance. Tickets are £15 each, available from Jane Gregory from 29th March. Please see Jane about pricing for a family ticket for families with children. Please support this event, so that we can send a good donation to Leukaemia Research.
