This was an evening of celebration, exploration and recognition. Each person brought along two or three favourite poems to read to the group. This included work by John Donne, Wilfrid Owen, Louis MacNeice, Donald Justice, Sylvia Plath and U A Fanthorpe. There were extracts from Penelope Shuttle's Missing You and work by Kenneth Steven, Carol Ann Duffy and John McCullough. There were poems written by the people present and there was a haiku by Diana Webb:
