The Meath Writer's Circle at Christmas

A great showing by the members of the Meath Writers Circle over the Christmas with poems in the Chronicle from Louise Scott, Willie Hodgins, Frank and Peggy Murphy and Tommy Murray.
The Chronicle at Christmas has always been a great platform for our poetry and long may it last.
Personally this has been the twenty sixth year in a row that I had poems in the Chronicle for Christmas and the feedback always surpasses expectations

Will be looking forward to meeting them all at our meeting which should be in the middle of January.
