Enter a poetry competition to support an arts organisation
I’ve just heard that the Torriano Poetry Competition is low on entries and that the Torriano Meeting House is in real need of the funds the competition generates. It is a volunteer-run arts and community organisation in North London, best known for its poetry events, but it also runs storytelling and theatrical gatherings and is host to a left wing folk club.
Here are the competition details. You still have time to polish a gem during the Christmas holidays…

A Good Confession
"Unputdownable" Miriam Stoppard
BRIDGET WHELAN writer 
just the words ‘North London’ make me feel home sick, Waterlow Park, Holy Jo’s even the Archway, come back all is forgiven…..thank you for the link, will definitely do it.
Where were you? We lived in Hargrave Road (off Junction Road) and Hazellville Road (off Hornsey Lane) for about 20 years….and the Torriano was going then. Good days but I do love Brighton
I lived half way up Dartmouth Park Hill since birth, left when I was 23! The house belonged to my Grandparents, who once owned three in a row, can you imagine it!!!
Grandpa took pity of the widow next door and sold one of them for a song…not sure what happened to the other one!
Grandparents passed on…
As self employed puppeteers it’s all a question of ‘feast or famine’…story of my own life.
When I read the end cover on your novel, seemed we had more in common than I realised.
It is going to be my Christmas read!!
Moved to South London when I got married could not afford North. But Highgate has always seemed like home x
