Annual Report 2023
Read It Aloud - Val
The Read It Aloud group has now been operating for ten years and some of the members of the group have been there since the beginning. Very sadly some former members have passed away and others have moved away but their replacements have slotted in seamlessly!
The whole ethos of the group is to enjoy each other’s company, to have a laugh, to learn and to provide support and a listening ear when needed.
Each month the members of the group agree on a theme for the following meeting and bring with them pieces of prose or poems on that topic to share. We also try to find out some information about the writer or poet. Over the year, we have covered such topics as Buildings, Summer, Joy, colours and Families, and the variety of pieces which members have found has been so diverse and interesting. An integral part of our meetings continues to be the superb discussion which ensues both during the meeting and afterwards over refreshments.
The group is full at the moment but we would be very happy to help anyone else who would like to set up a second group.
