'Open House' Weekend On Saturday & Sunday 18th-19th September, London's doors are flung wide for the 'Open House' weekend. Pick up the yellow booklet in your local library to see the full interesting and exciting programme. There are 14 venues/ events in Wandsworth Borough - 4 in our area. Why not join the tour of the Alton Estate?!

Putney Verse Workshop Meets monthly, Sundays @ 3 pm. Contact Connaire Kensit 0208 788 8647 for venues. The aims of the workshop are to promote an interest in and appreciation of poetry among the general public and to give local poets opportunities to meet and discuss each other's work. It is not necessary to write your own poems to take part but hopefully, the workshops will inspire you to do so. It encourages an interest in every kind of poetry from blank to rhymed, so is not the preserve of a particular 'school'. Future meetings: 26th Sep: Poems to present to children.
24th Oct: London poems; Putney, or somewhere you know.
28th Nov: Eating out; teashops, restaurants etc.

Visit to Tower Bridge & City Hall Arrangements have been made for members to have a tour of Tower Bridge and afterwards, we suggest, an informal buffet lunch at City Hall, HQ of London's Mayor. Thurs 14th October; meet 11.00 am at the Bridge. We will have an introductory talk, see the newly-opened photographic exhibition River Thames: Source to Sea and make our way through the workings of this historic landmark, including crossing it on the highest level. Leaving the Bridge, on the South Bank, we can lunch in the self-service café on the LG floor of City Hall, which is only a few hundred yards away. Tickets £6.00 per person (covers visit to Bridge only) To book your place(s), please send SAE to John Horrocks, 2 Angel Mews, Roehampton High Street, SW15 4HU. You will be sent a detailed itinerary, with travel suggestions. Cheques made out to The Putney Society, please.
