Hi
Folks
I have
reposted all the info until April as there are a few changes from the last
Surrey Storytelling Updates - so make sure that you use this post as your
reference copy!
We
welcome the new spoken word events in both Richmond and Guildford- and they will
be featuring storytellers as well as inviting you to take part in their spoken
word open mike! Plus there are rumours of a new storytelling club starting up in
Richmond. Storytelling and the spoken word is really developing!!
Please
note that “The Sanctuary” has recently implemented a “no shoes” policy for the
main hall- so please bring sox or soft shoes to change into.
Please note: In view of the bad weather- please check the website
in case of cancellation. We will try to make a decision at least 24 hours before
the event and will probably send a mail to the people on this
list.
