A huge congratulations to The Writers' Group 2020 on publishing their ezine! They met most Thursdays to share their writing, to discuss books, and to take part in some creative writing exercises and competitions. I'm also delighted and proud to note that, Nellie Warren is going to have her short story published in the, 'Fighting Words', a supplement of the Irish Times for the second time!!
My thanks to Emily Rowe, a TY student, for taking the time to design the ezine and to all our contributors: the poets Caoimhe Acres and Carrie Barling in First year, the poets Aoibhe Dunne, Eva Corrigan and Alexey Gorelov in 5th year, the published short story writer Nellie Warren in 5th year and the agitator Jakob Miller in 6th year. We would love to see more students join our group next year for coffee, chats and telling tales.
Read and enjoy the eZine!

Some of our Chinese students celebrated the Mooncake Festival this morning with traditional treats, and stories about the holiday. The round shape of the mooncakes mirrors the bright harvest moon, symbolizing family togetherness and completeness.
