Writers plan mid-summer readings

Kilcullen Writers Group is considering another night of readings to coincide with Mid-Summer Day, 21 June.

This follows a very successful winter season for the group, which included organising a workshop last autumn, a combined night of readings with two other groups in January, and a recent poetry revision workshop conducted by Nessa O'Mahony.

Individual members of the group also did well, with the production of John Martin's play 'Over the Top' in the Riverbank Theatre in March being just one highlight.

The group also conducts a forum and competition for local writers in The Bridge, Kilcullen's community magazine, and winners for this year include James Healy for his contributions to the Adult Section, while the Childrens Section recipients of book tokens are Cliodhna Tutty-Bardon and Colm O'Brien.

The Kilcullen Writers Group meets in An Tearmann every second Monday at 8.15pm. Enquiries to paulinefagan@yahoo.com
