April 16

What a line-up and feast of words we had! Glenys Osborne talked about winning the Barbara Jefferis Award (worth $35,000!) and read from her winning novel, Come Inside. Our feature readers, Alex Skovron and Claire Gaskin had everyone leaning forward in their seats  - and not because of the noisy coffee machine behind! Our open readers - including two first-timers! - added a richness and diversity to a thoroughly entertaining afternoon. And to top it all off my 86-year-old Dad turned up under his own steam to give me a surprise. Which he did! Lovely.
