Invitation: Friday 15 May



 We're back for another virtual gathering - a night of story sharing.

We want to hear what you've been up to in the past month, listen to your stories poems and patter.
  • We've learned that virtual storytelling can be tiring so we ask that contributions be no longer than 6 minutes. 
  • We've planed for an hour but if we are still enjoying ourselves and wish to go over - our zoom account can accommodate an extension. 
  • Musicians welcome; if you have patter or a story you wish to try out - we're all ears.
When you arrive we will spend a few minutes writing down your name and working out the running order and this will be posted on the chat stream. Please if you wish to tell a story, poem or simply share a work in progress,  arrive on time.
