Seated in a semi-circle, and clutching a furry toy, we were led astray by Brian Ogden at our January meeting, singing our hearts out, with different words, to the tunes of ”The Hokey Cokey”, “This Old Man” and “Michael Finnegan”.

Having found the talent for writing at an early age it was later in life that Brian found his niche in writing children’s books, and found fame with the stories of Maximus Mouse. He explained the rocky road to publishing with us, and his way of working with children.

As the light failed we were treated to some stories; had our sing song; and best of all, laughed a lot. It was a very happy afternoon on a very chilly day, and a good start to the New Year.
