Wayland in Words

For the event on March 5th we are asking Wayland people to choose their favourite passages of text that reflect the character of Wayland. It could be modern poetry (as in the Wayland Word Journey’), part of a press cutting or old document, parish record, a quote from a local history, landscape or wildlife book, fact or fiction, past or present. 

It would be wonderful if you would be willing to read your selected passage/s out on the night as part of the event.  Even if you do not want to read out your passage on the night, please do select a passage or two, someone else could read them or they may be used in a printed version. 

If you want to take part in ‘Wayland in Words’ please email me (send a copy of your proposed passage of text, and any images you think would complement it) it should be a very interesting and memorable evening.
