WOWO January 25, 2024 7-9pm GMT

After the long winter break, our popular Mug of the Month competition is again on offer: a text in any genre of maximum 50 words, to include two previously given words. A fine challenge to practice succinct, pithy expression. This month FINE and TUNE were the two words with multiple meanings, so that we can look forward to a wide selection of versatile uses. Each poem/text/song is presented twice, and then viewers are invited to cast their vote for their favourite. The winner is awarded The Mug, and receives the hotly contested title of ‘Mug of the Month’!

With four short stories and two poems to follow, we can promise two hours of quality writing and lively discussion – in short: an entertaining evening.

Welcome to all our viewers!
