Workshop
This year we ran a workshop earlier in the day. Thank you to everyone who attended this event. Numbers were few but we had a great time.
Here is one of the testimonials given:
“I thoroughly enjoyed the poetry workshop with Sandra. I learned so much about creativity and expressing myself as a poet. I have been inspired to write poetry and maybe one day I will be having a poetry book of my own published”. It was great!” – Natalie.
And this was from a woman who only came along to support her friend.
