Writers read on Saturday

Two of the readers for the Mid-Summer Night readings event on Saturday 21 June, organised by the Kilcullen Writing Group, have won major prizes.

They are Eileen Keane of the Clane Writers Group, who won the Listowel Writers' Week Original Humorous Essay Award, and Marie Gallagher of the same group who won the Swift Festival Competition for Satirical Work held by Boyne Writers Group in Trim, Co Meath. Her theme was the Lisbon Treaty referendum.

The Kilcullen event is at 8pm in the Town Hall Theatre. Admission is free, but audience space is limited to 110, so come early.
