Last poetry gigs for the year

One of the last chances this year to catch up with friends - and hear three terrific poets! Poetry at the Gods, ANU Arts Centre, Tuesday December 11, features Keith Harrison, Hal Judge and Kathy Kituai. Bookings essential: dinner at 6.30 pm and non-eating seats at 8 pm for a prompt start with coordinator Geoff Page bringing on the poets. Phone: 02 6248 5538.

We had a good crowd at Binalong's Mulling & Musing on Sunday 25th in spite of holiday season busyness building up, an overlap with the Golf Club's big weekend and harvesting. Poets and other writers came from Temora, Young, Yass, Wee Jasper, Wombat and of course Binalong. Local champion bush poet Robyn Sykes whizzed back from a performance in Ulladulla and will be off to Tamworth as a featured poet in January. The General Store/Top Shop is supporting this event on a regular basis. Every second month starting up again March 24 at 2 pm. Of course you've already bought your 2013 diary...
