The LMFM anthology which was launched last night in Drogheda contains the work of around forty writers. It is a well produced book but it contains a serious error big enough for me to lose some sleep. In the acknowledgments on the back cover there is a line which reads. "Tommy Murray of the Boyne Writers" What can I say except 'Father forgive them for...... How can I ever live this down.

On a lighter note The Meath Writers Circle launched their DVD containing the work of sixteen writers writers tonight . The writers on the DVD include Frank Murphy, Mick Sheils, Paul Martin,Willie Hodgins, Sean Reilly, Tess Ryan, Moyra Lawlor, Eileen Kavanagh, Pat Bennet, Sean Kane, Andy Kane, Jimmy Peppard, Carmel Murray, John Wiseman and myself.

Congratulations to Mary Jo Gibbons from Kilmessan on getting a highly Commended Certificate in the Francis Ledwidge Poetry Competition. Mary Joe of course was a member of the Meath Writers Circle for many years. Congratulation also to Peter Goulding who is making a name for himself in these competitions. Peter came second. a word of congratulations to Pat Devaney of the Lib Lab Group for his certificate. Pat has already made a name for himself in competitions up and down the country
Tommy, I sympathise with you on this most grievous error. If you do want an honorary membership of Boyne Writers we could probably arrange it for a purely nominal fee!!
