Poems can be in any format but not more than 19 lines. Entries should be sent to: Sue Turner and David Williams, Candela, 19 Reading Road, Henley RG9 1AB or by email to

The poems will be displayed at the green fair during Great Big Green Week, and Henley library in Ravenscroft Road.

There will be a poetry reading at the library on Tuesday, June 13 from 5.30pm to 7.30pm when entrants can read their work.
