A Night to Remember

A delightful mix of poetry and music entertained us all at the Space for Words evening at the end of October and proved a very special way of re-opening the Space after its long hibernation. Many thanks to local Devon poet, Chris Waters, for sharing his poems of nature and wild places near and far, rounding off with verse from his latest collection, London Clay. His friend and fellow poet, Chris Fogg, was most entertaining. Thanks also to Amanda Cuthbert, who read fifteen poems requested by local people along with dedications – all quite different and special, and she did justice to them all. And between the poems, there was John Garner, playing some beautiful pieces on guitar. What a lot of talent we have around us! And as well as having a good time, a most welcome £288 was raised for the Space, an enormous help in keeping the place going. Thanks to everyone who helped organise this event.
