Poet Laureate
One summer, Simon Armitage decided to walk the Pennine Way - a challenging 256-mile route usually approached from south to north, with the sun, wind and rain at your back. However, he resolved to tackle it back to front, walking home towards the Yorkshire village where he was born, travelling as a 'modern troubadour', without a penny in his pockets and singing for his supper with poetry readings in village halls, churches, pubs and living rooms.
Walking Home describes his extraordinary, yet ordinary, journey of human endeavour, unexpected kindnesses and terrible blisters.
The regular group meeting is 3rd Wednesday of the month 1.30pm-3.30pm at St Margaret's Church Hall Tag Lane, Ingol, PR2 3XA. The car park is at the side of the building, accessed from St Margaret's Close. Bus Service, Number 35 stops outside the door.
The Group's next meeting is on the 20th August 2025 at 13.30 -15.30
How the group works: Books (library group loan) are issued at a meeting for members to read, and are then discussed at the following meeting. We choose our reading list democratically each year so everyone is sure of finding something they like. We very rarely agree about the merits of a particular book, which adds to our enjoyment and the liveliness of our meetings.
The book on loan is returned at the following meeting. If a member is unable to attend, please arrange with the Group Leader on how to return the book
