All-Ireland Poetry Day.
St Patrick's Cathedral Trim was the venue for the first ever National Poetry Day event in Meath. Organised by the Boyne Writers and facilitated by the Rev. Robert Jones the Cathedral was and is a beautiful setting for this type of occasion, and the above are to be congratulated for the effort involved. Although a small crowd attended, the readings were always interesting and perhaps more so than at a usual event, in that the Cathedral itself, dare I say, lends something. On to bigger and better things next year.

Thanks Frank and well said. A wonderful venue which lends a great atmosphere to a reading. A small crowd but a great selection of poetry.
Thanks for the comments, Frank, and thanks for turning up. Your contribution was much appreciated, especially because of the passion you bring to your reading. By the way, this wasn't the first all-Ireland poetry day event ever held in Meath; it was the only one held in Meath this year. I have a lovely pic of you reading, but the file may be too big to send to you. Should I put it on disc?
Many thanks for the comments guys, must get my facts straight in future. But as they say if the truth conflicts....
Hope the Windows went ok. Great story that Paddy. Still remember it.
