5th
Annual Poets’ Picnic at Markwell
from 1 pm on Sunday 18th
December, 2022
at 878 Markwell Rd, Markwell, 2423
followed
by dinner at the Bowlo in Bulahdelah
we
are ‘soft launching’ eight new books:
Getting there:
Follow
Stroud St (the main street) out of Bulahdelah … it becomes Markwell Rd… stay on
the tar for 8.78 kms (i.e. do not go
on the Back Road, it’s the wrong side of the river). Our driveway is the first
on the right after the Markwell sign… the little brown dairy fading into the
bushes is the closest building to the road for a long way, so hard to miss. Please
park at the top of the block or on the side of the road, allowing others access
in and out.
BRING
picknickables
(soda pop, water cress, blanket and bears)
mozzie
repellant, sunblock, hat, towel, toga, togs
sturdy
footwear, brolly, camping chair (as appropriate)
People
who are staying at Markwell know who they are and know to bring their own
sheets and towels, etc.
