Wednesday 9^th April

Confessions of a Postman

George

This is the Night Mail crossing the border,
Bringing the cheque and the postal order,
Letters for the rich, letters for the poor,
The shop at the corner and the girl next door.

Following his intensive training over the Christmas period, George has volunteered to give us a behind-the-scenes talk on what Royal Mail does with your post. So if you are interested in the gadgetry or are just curious about what happens after your letter disappears into the post box, then this evening is unmissable.
