WHAT YOU MISSED

 There were 17 of us in all – poor Nicole too ill to attend! Babs and Omay and Edward and Emma and Jane and Dan and Juliet and Norman listened, while Paul topped and tailed and the rest told, as listed below:


Andy the Viking: How Robin Became an Outlaw


Jill Barr: When Little John went into the Sheriff’s Service…


Janet Goring: The Wedding of Allan-a-Dale


Raph Perry: Guy of Gisbourne


Ian Tovey: Robin Hood and the Beggar


Mike Rogers: Robin and the Storyteller


Gary Llewellyn: How Robin Won the Golden Arrow


Madeleine Grantham: Robin Hood and the Abbot


Some of it (Andy and Janet) was more or less as narrated by Howard Pyle (who drew the pictures, as well as doing the writing)

(this is the version with all the pictures).


Other tellers had their own sources, and their own takes on our National Hero. (You can read Mike’s here

All in all, it was an enormously varied and exciting evening, and the only question is: what will we do next year?
