Hello all, I'm only just home from Bungendore. 7.30pm Monday night.
I spent today visiting 'lations and going over some historic photographs of the Daniel clan.
Part of today was taken up in securing accommodation in Canberra for my youngest daughter Lucy who will be taking up a graphic arts course at the CIT in Reid, as of next Monday. Now we're in a hell of a rush to get things mobile for this.
I would like to thank those who took part in the Bungendore Poets Turnout on the weekend, I think it was a pretty good show, but somewhat lacking in numbers audience and poet wise.
I was absolutely impressed with the poems presented by newcomers Heather Knight and Marty Boyd. I'm sure they'll both go a long way in the poetry game.
It was great to see John Peel turn up for the two days, along with John Davis, Laurie McDonald who paid tribute to the late David Meyers, Lorraine McCrimmon, Mark 'Bushie' Thompson, Campbell Irving, William Williams, Barry Martin, Greg North, and Graeme 'Skew Whiff' Watt from Tormina near Coffs Harbour. It was his first visit to Bungendore and he's promised to return next year.
Highlights of the Saturday morning were the Greg's Stick It poem and his camp rendition of 'Cluncy'.
Sundays big impression was John Peels 'Elvis is still alive' which kept the crowd engaged.
The hip swivelling, gyrating, whole hunka poet was certainly a convincing sight for sore eyes.
Greg and John definitely take the cake as entertainers.
