Hi Everyone (and with apologies for cross-posting)
Before you're completely booked up for summer, remember you're all invited to the Hay-on-Wye Poetry Jamboree (nothing to do with the official Festival), now in its third year. The sun always shines, the venue is good (a beer garden next door), and we can help you with accommodation and parking advice if you need it. Details below ...
See you there,
John
