The group continues in the current format. Each month a member chooses a poet and researches their life and work to share with the group. Each member finds a poem by said poet and reads this to the group who then discuss it. This format is working very well and enables all to be fully involved.

| " "Dover Beach". | |
| Glory be to God for dappled things — | |
| For skies of couple-colour as a brinded cow; | |
| For rose-moles all in stipple upon trout that swim; | |
| Fresh-firecoal chestnut-falls; finches' wings; | |
| Landscape plotted and pieced — fold, fallow, and plough; | |
| And áll trádes, their gear and tackle and trim. | |
| All things counter, original, spare, strange; | |
| Whatever is fickle, freckled (who knows how?) | |
| With swift, slow; sweet, sour; a dazzle, dim; | |
| He fathers-forth whose beauty is past change: | |
| Praise him. |
Why not come along and join us.
