We are a mutually supportive group of enthusiastic poets who are committed to improving our skills and taking poetry into the local community.
Our annual programme includes twelve monthly meetings on the last Monday evening of the month at 7.30 p.m. They are held in the upper room of the Christian Centre by St Martin's Church, Dorking RH4 1DW. The evening is divided into two parts:
- The first hour includes a discussion about various aspects of poetry, or individual published poets, and is presented by one of the group members. Examples of past themes include: Ekphrasis, After the first draft ..., Poems of War and Peace, Dream Poetry, Henry Vaughan. We also invite guest poets to read from their own collections as well as offering a critique of our poems.
- The second hour of our meeting is a workshop of four poems brought by members.
Some meetings, such as those held during the Mole Valley annual Arts Alive Festival, are open to members of the public - workshops on creative writing, Poetry Pub events.
The annual subscription is £18.
If you would like to join the group, or require further information, please contact the Membership Secretary.
