Competition update

First apologies for the delay in posting the results of our poetry competition.  I have unfortunately been caught up in a family crisis which had taken me away for the past month.  I hope to post the results here by the 17th April.


Can I add that the overall quality of entries has been very high and I would thank everyone who entered for giving me such a headache in trying to select an outstanding poem from so many outstanding poems..
