Cruse Bereavement Care benefit evening

Hello everyone

I’ve organised a Cruse fund raising event at the Parrot Music Bar, 32 King Street, Carmarthen SA31 1BS. The evening will be on Wednesday 13th February 2013 and will start at about 7.00pm.

Three bands have agreed to play for free and there will be a charge of £5.00 on the door per person. All the door money will go to Carmarthenshire Cruse and there will also be a raffle in aid of Cruse.

All I ask to cover my staffing + electricity costs is that each person buys at least one drink. We offer a great range of freshly ground fair trade coffees, teas, local real ale and scrumpy cider on tap as well as other alcoholic + non-alcoholic beverages.

This will be a great night and will feature:

  • The beautiful Blues of Big Bear (Clive). He plays a variety of guitars, Clive is a very talented and soulful musician.
  • A Welsh language acoustic act called Erin A Benja who are also very accomplished musicians. They have performed regularly at the Parrot and their music is astounding.
  • Also a rare appearance from Ron Savory who isn’t gigging much this year due to recording commitments. Ron is a professional guitar teacher and, as well as performing, will showcase some of the best of his new acts which he has discovered.

Please come along and support this fund raiser, if anybody wishes to reserve a ticket please contact me on 07811 319113 as the evening looks like it will be popular.

A poster is attached

Many thanks + warm regards,

POEMS AND PINTS DISCUSSION

Hi everyone (I hope this is the correct spot for this discussion!)

I would like to begin a discussion on how you thought our poems and pints event went.

I thought it went very well. The poetry and music was diverse. The food was good and Delme was an excellent compere. The carol singing was a nice touch. You may have ideas, that could be introduced into this very nice social occasion.

It maybe that by having a shared discussion, people who could not attend this event, do not feel left out.

What do you think ?

A POEM: AUSTERITY

Austerity

Not  the first time so  divisively.

The vulnerable are being  hounded.

Facing  overwhelming austerity.

Should be grateful it’s not you or me?

It must be fearful to be this graded

Not for the first time so divisively

Benefits slashed –  a sad  legacy

Is it  time  to stand and be counted?

Facing  overwhelming  austerity

The safety net removed  what lunacy

‘Shirkers’ an insult. I would feel baited

Not for the first time so divisively

Child poverty  grows causing misery

Queues for food banks have started

Facing  overwhelming  austerity

But debt  is bad  for our country

We can blame  the meek and the  wretched

Not for the first so divisively

Facing  overwhelming  austerity
