I SHOULD like to point out to your readers that in the piece headed 'This will be week to pen ode to the world,' in the September 19 issue of the Gazette, one important detail was omitted the closing date for the One World Week poetry competition.

This is October 4, so if you intend to take part and have not yet obtained your copy of the original poem, and details of how to enter, now is the time to do it.

Telephone (01249) 812725 or (01249) 815164, or send an e-mail to derekquinn_uk@yahoo.co.uk

You still have time to consider what is going on in the world today, and to study the poem and write an up-to-date version of it.
