All of the 2015 Mass Observation pieces are now on Peggy’s Blue
Skylight. Perhaps you’d like to look at how they compare, or how they build up

Here are a couple of things on this semester
for you!
On these Wednesdays there will be public events at The Arts
Centre, 7.30, hosted by the Creative Writing department:
