CURRENT ACTIVITIES

March 2026

Thursday 12th        Poets Group

In February our topic was FORGETTING, and we had an unforgettable meeting on this theme. Georges who fears to

forget the most important events happening in the past. Sylvie who needs her list and sticky notes because she

fears to forget her appointments. Dietmar reminds us that we often forget our keys. Françoise who can't forget her

grandma's ingenious way of cooking. Thank you to all the others who didn't forget to choose, to write and to send

their poems.

Our next meeting will be on Thursday, 12th March at 3.30pm.

Two topics this time: PREMONITION AND/OR PHOTOS.
