Hi everybody.

Here is some great news.
On Saturday 27th March I will be presenting a set of my poetry - about 25 minutes - on a Zoom conference. The other performer is Marian Cockin. I've seen the poems that she will be doing and they are excellent (possibly a bit heavy on UK imagery for some of you guys). If you want to join in and watch us there are two ways you can do it (for both ways you will need Zoom downloaded on your computer,)

First there is a direct link which you can just copy into your browser.

If that's a bit long you can go to

www.offaspress.co.uk/events and scroll down and click on the link under International Voices.

Not sure exactly how long before the kick off you can log in but probably half an hour should do it.

The date and time are UK 2 p.m. GMT on Saturday 27th March. You will need to work out the American times yourselves as they will obviously vary according to exactly where you are. (I can work them out for you if you really need me to but I am sure that you are all capable of it.)

I would love it if you could all join me there.

Thanks, Bob. I have it on my calendar. It is 9:00 am Central time Google says, though I thought we were 6 hours behind English time.

I make it 9 for Chicago too.
Had a practice run through of the whole thing last night. It went very well. Look forward to seeing everyone there.

A reminder:

Just reminding you of my poetry event which is next Saturday.
Saturday 27 March ‘International Voices’, times below. You can join up to 30 minutes before the start time. The other poet is Marion Cockin. There will be four sets of about 12 minutes each. I will be doing the first and third and Marion will be doing the second and fourth.
You need to download Zoom if you want to attend.
There are two ways to attend.
This is the direct link.

I will be there.

Eleven hours to go!

Well guys, you missed it. Except for shu and Kalleh who were there. I thought it all went pretty well though some of my Chinese friends didn’t manage to join the chat because of technical issues.

It was excellent! Thanks so much for inviting us.
