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?
