HUNTER POETRYFEST 28-30 OCTOBER 2011 Morisset W.E.C.

The Festival starts -
Friday evening 28th and goes till Sunday late afternoon of the 30th.
Accom. is available (cheap) at the grounds and we have procured the
Albion Park Camp Cooking Club for ALL food for the whole weekend.
They do a great job and are reasonable.

As we have not yet procured all the professionals we want, we can't
yet give an all up cost but we expect it will be about $100 to live in
(plus whatever you want to eat).
Confirmed so far Milton Taylor, Frank Daniel, Manfred Vijars and Greg North.

We ARE having a written competition, both serious and humorous , $10
an entry and includes critique. Prizemoney will be First $150, second
$75, third, $30 in each section plus HC's etc.

The weekend will include Team Poetry Trivia, fun word games, a
re-enactment of the famous "Game On" (Woodford Folk Festival) One Min
Cup, and workshops on writing, performing, publishing, yarnspinning,
lyric writing, reading and understanding poetry and much more. Not to
mention heaps
of fun and socialising!

We are hoping to have a surprise overseas artist who plays guitar and
sings and is just fabulous, so 'round the campfire should be great.

Save the date and watch for ads in ABPA Mag and Hunter BP web
cheers,
carol

I encourage anybody who can make it to get along for this one. It will be a cracker and the biggest all in poetry event since Toowoomba in the early '90's
