Huge thanks to all those who came along (or joined online) to watch our Evening Remembering Hiroshima and Nagasaki. It was an honour to have peace poet Antony Owen come down from Coventry to join us and make such a powerful contribution to the evening, and to have Chihiro Ono playing her violin so poignantly and beautifully. We managed to raise some money for CND, who supported the event, and Sands Films, our hosts, were as brilliantly supportive as ever. The event is online until the end of this month…
