Ver Poets
Open Competition Adjudication:
The Open Adjudication on 4th July also involves a reading by John Whitworth whose poetry is renowned for its wit and inventiveness, so this should be an enjoyable afternoon. Held again this year at The Maltings Theatre - it's free and a good chance to catch up with other Ver Members and meet the winning poets. ****This event is free - Parking in Maltings car park.***
See Competitions page for more information.
