Udimore

POETRY & PROSE EVENING: In the Hall last Saturday evening, this was another very successful and enjoyable event in the annual joint Brede and Udimore winter series. Ranging in date of publication from the early 17th century (John Donne) to the present day (Stephen Wrigley), the passages chosen provided plenty of stimulus and entertainment, concluding with another stirring recitation by Robert Wheeler. Though Robert's fellow impresario, Gary Marriott, was among several regulars unable to be there, Duncan Reid took on the delicate and critical task of melding the varied contributions into a well-balanced programme. During the midway break in proceedings another tasty two-course supper was served, one course being provided by the talented chefs of each of our parishes. Our thanks must go to them in particular, and to Gary, Robert and Duncan, but also to readers and audience alike for putting this annual show on the road again. The funds of each parish should benefit by nearly £200.
