The Meath Writers' Circle/July Meeting 2018!

The Meath Writers' Circle/July Meeting 2018!

Last Thursday night's meeting of The Meath Writers' Circle had eight in attendance, which given the beautiful weather outside wasn't bad. I believe a steam engine event in the aid of charity was taking place, or going through at the same time. The magazine is now closed and only a few finishing touches required before sending to the printer. Our children's poetry competition awards are in Navan Library next Saturday and everyone is welcome to drop in. (2.30 pm) We finished the night with stories and poems before heading back out in the late sun.
