Val J Chapman reading “Somewhere in Gallipoli”.
On 25th April 2015, members of Touchstones Creative Writing Group: Shirley-Anne Kennedy and Eileen Earnshaw, produced a performance for the Gallipoli Centenary in Rochdale Central Library. Several other members, Alfie Fairhurst, Val Chapman and Catherine Coward read poetry to mark the occasion, and Ray Stearn (Chairman) played Waltzing Matilda on his home-made xylophone. The programme was hosted by facilitator, Norman Warwick.
