It was a full house at the February gathering, with some quite delightful
poems recited, some humorous (Tom Cat), some topical (the recent storms with 'To
the Fallen Trees, etc), and some with a dual message of sincerity and
satire.
A wide variety of poets were read (Auden, Townsend, Goldsmith, DH Lawrence,
Clare) and this gathering was also spendidly entertained by a live performance
by Patrick who brought his guitar along and sang superbly several Irish folk
songs including McGinty's Pig, adding a real atmosphere to the
proceedings.
In all, a very, very successful meeting enjoyed by everyone present.
