Click here to enter Geoff’s website. T Celebrating Geoff Stevens The Barlow Theatre, Langley, West Midlands Saturday May 26, 2012 - 9.30am to 10.00pm Everyone is welcome to come and spend a day reading poems, chatting, eating and drinking to celebrate Geoff’s life and work and to enjoy each other’s company as Geoff would have wanted. There will be two open mic sessions, morning and evening, for people to read their own work and the afternoon will be a chance for whoever wants to, to read a favourite poem of Geoff’s.  Or you may just want to come and listen.  Programme details below.  There will also be a meeting between 5.00 and 6.00 for anyone who would like to discuss how Geoff’s work and reputation could be preserved and developed in future projects.  (If you can’t come on May 26, please email your ideas to Geraldine at the address below and she’ll bring them up for discussion.) There is no charge for the day thanks to the generosity of the Barlow Theatre but there will be a collection for St. Mary’s Hospice where Geoff spent his last few days and for Acorns Children’s Hospices. Within a few steps there are plenty of places to get food.  The Teapot Cafe opens at 7.00 am and closes at 12.00 am and is a great place to get your bacon butties or whatever and bring them across to the Barlow to have with your coffee.  There are two pubs within a very short walk, The Model and Crosswell’s Inn, and a short drive away the Wetherspoons Court of Requests where we had the Wake for Geoff.  There’s also fish and chips, Chinese and Indian take-aways and Asian food restaurants within yards of the theatre. Parking is very close to the theatre and the bar, where we’ll meet, has easy access for wheel- chairs. There will be tables in the foyer for those who want to sell books.  Come and enjoy!
