Our chair SR used the celebration of words as the theme to the evening and fill in material was taken from the book ‘A Compendium of Collective Nouns’

Introductions were to the question: ‘Tell us your tips for getting through the dark and cold winter’

For our inspiration, CLW read a poem from Spike Milligan’s book ‘Hidden Words’.
