| Carmel Murray, also Francis and Cynthia Simonet |
The Meath Writers' Circle and Boyne Writers were in Longwood, County Meath, last Sunday at one of the many events to mark the centenary of the 1916 Rising. Longwood must be one of the few villages left that can boast of a village green and although the day was a little wild there were more than a few interesting people around. Cynthia Simonet above read a very interesting piece on Maude Gonne with regard to evictions and such and indeed in the past hundred years or so since it was written not much has changed. Her husband dressed as Napoleon from an earlier revolutionary period while Carmel is holding a copy of our recent publication. Members of Trim Junior Comhaltas also played and there were a number of songs and recitations from different people, and a Silver Band played while in the village hall a magician kept the children entertained and he was good! On to Tara!
