| beweeps me that too few go to the SVP, howsomever,
|many of us out in the sticks either can't make it or don't know about it,
|or both.
obviously those far away can't make it
as to knowing about it there is a twice yearly mailshot for those who do
want to attend or you can be on the emailing list wch keeps you updated and
the full list is posted on the list
details are sent to the nationals and relevant locals who ignore it
the poetry kit carries the programme
as does Poetry London Newsletter though their schedule means that late
changes don't get there
and there is a website which keeps moderately up to date now
so there shouldn't be any problem if people want the info
|sorry to hear papa andrew has taken a scunner to bill griffiths ( i haven't
|the latest first offense so don't know the details) but even the best of
|friends can fall out via long association (s'pose).
no this has nothing to do with friends falling out
it's just personal abuse
presumably in the style of those who attack anything for the sake of writing
an article
feuds and fallings out happen and aren't interesting but this is something
else and needs to be aired
