About thirteen people turned out last Thursday night for the monthly meeting of The Meath Writers' Circle in the Trim Castle Hotel with a number of items discussed and poems and stories read. The annual magazine needs a lot more material in and hopefully it all comes together by the end of summer. This will be the third issue to date and while there is no overall theme there are any number of anniversaries out there including Ledwidge, Swift, Jane Austen, the Russian Revolution, the Fenian Proclamation, Thomas Ashe, JFK, The Battle of Messines WW1, Ernesto "Che" Guevara, Martin Luther's Ninety Five Theses, Amelia Earhart, Mary Queen of Scots, Sputnik, the Hindenburg and anything you might think of on the lighter side. Also of local note and by the time the magazine comes out it will be the 50th anniversary of the Scurlogstown Olympiad at the Old Mill, so nice to get some material on that. Thirty years also since the Joshua Tree so plenty to write about.
* Some other notable anniversaries worth considering, the death of Steve Biko, Elvis Presley, Eva Peron, Ernest Shackleton, Princess Dianna, 50 years since the release of Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, and I think 30 years since the release of Star Wars and it's 100 years since the apparitions at Fatima.
