HAVE YOU any Millennium Memories that you would like to share with BEN readers?

As part of this newspaper's Millennium celebrations, we are publishing a bound volume of poetry submitted by readers. And we want the main theme of this handsome book to highlight memories of the last Millennium.

These might revolve around momentous national or international events over the last decades or centuries. They might be about important local occurrences, or even personal moments in the life of you and your family.

However you interpret this theme, we want to hear about your poetic memories. We will include in this important volume as many poems submitted as possible, and this will not affect our daily poems already printed in the BEN.

If you would like a poem considered for this book, which we envisage being ready for sale by the end of the year, please send it to: MILLENNIUM MEMORIES, Carol Bannister, Bolton Evening News, Churchgate, Bolton BL1 1DE.
