An Autumn Serenade was enjoyed at Pitville Pump Rooms.
After a change of programme Margaret Daniels, The Bard of Barnwood, royally entertained us with her poetry and local tales, humorously told.
Margaret had a lilting voice similar to Pam Ayres and held the members enthralled.
She began writing in the 70s when working at Barnwood School in various guises later joining a writers guild who encouraged her to get her poems printed.
Margaret is a vibrant speaker and writer who made our evening brighter.
A warm round of applause followed by a vote of thanks from Marlene.
Margaret generously donated her fee to the James Hopkins Trust.
We meet again on Monday, October 29, for our AGM followed by a fish and chip supper at Upton Village Hall at 7.30pm.
All ladies very welcome.
