At the August meeting, poet Leah Thorn spoke to us about her “Older Women Rock!” project that she is working on in Folkestone, and the ideas and basis of the project.
Our club are hoping to be very much involved in this as they think it is raising awareness of specific issue that women in their late 50’s to early 70’s face. The plans for Old Women Rock sound really exciting – and some of our group are disappointed that they are too young to participate (our time will come – don’t go wishing your life away) – but will support in other ways. It was great to hear the club still discussing the project over coffee at the end of the evening
Watch this space Folkestone, there is definitely more to come on this project. Up
dates will follow with SI Folkestone hopefully being fully involved!
