There is no charge but an opportunity to donate to the Woodland Trust. Richard was a teacher and latterly Senior English advisor in Bedfordshire Schools and Colleges. 

A talented poet himself, and passionate about arts and education, he was busy in local community groups dedicated to drama, poetry and education. He founded the Poetry Cafe in Bedford and organised numerous poetry recitals. His endless enthusiasm and his warm, vibrant personality will be long remembered. 

You will no doubt enjoy an evening of listening to the poems and music which he was particularly fond of.
