Will be there then too. But not every day!
Weekdays would be good for those who happen to work nearby 🙂

Any events ensuing from that prestigious position?

If you happen to find yourself in or near Cowden Pound on 26th June at about 6ish, you could pop into the Queen's Arms Pub for some poetry. Bring a poem if you want to read one, bring cheese for your ears while I read mine if you want.

Either way, it would be ace to see you there.
