– “I got it! Thank you for all your help – couldn’t have done it without you”

As last year the application window runs over the Easter holidays which will add unnecessary pressure for many.

We Need to Have Some Words with HIM!

What Stories Will You Share?

A picture tells a 1’000 stories?

He hopes you will come along, share stories, poems or maybe tell a joke. It should be an enjoyable evening where we’ll share, learn, laugh and perhaps be moved.  He’s been a member of Ilkley Young Writers Group for a number of years and therefore seen and heard some wonderful, engaging and powerful performances. We hope a number of them will be joining us on Friday 11 March 2016 – hopefully a treat for all ages. A community event – where everyone is very welcome!
