The Meath Writers' Circle January 2011

The Meath Writers' Circle


The Meath Writers' Circle had their first meeting of the new year at The Castle Hotel in Trim tonight with a good number attending and I took the opportunity to shoot a few videos, though the light leaves something to be desired and we could do with a spotlight Much of the conversation seemed to be about war, from the American Civil War and the Irish involvement at Fredricksburg, especially those from the Meath area and the number of people from the locality who fought in the First World War, and we finished off with the men of Wexford and their journeys through Meath during the 98' rebellion. Jimmy Peppard read a fine poem about the Somme and hopefully I'll get to upload it at a future date. All in all an interesting night with some very good poems read.
