The
club has been busy
assisting Jimmy Hempstead getting his 'new' book of poems ready to be
published in time for the St. Andrew's Night on 27th November 209.
'Ragbag of Rhyme' - as it is called-- will incorporate his original 'Rhyme for Fun' poems along with poems he has written over the years -- from 1948 to 2007 --resulting in a book of some 120 pages including illustrations of some of the subjects of his works.
Fund raising has been on-going for a few years to enable all members to receive a complimentary copy, however enough have been ordered to allow for some for general sale. The price has yet to be decided but it should be in the region of £8 to £10.
As they say --- Watch this space!
An image of the front cover can seen via the Publications button on the left.
As a small aside you may note that the title of one of the books is Robert Burns and Dumbartonshire. Now the cognoscenti among you will know that , while the town is called Dumbarton, the county is Dunbartonshire.
Concerned that Jimmy had made a very rare mistake; he was challenged. His reply was that it was Dumbartonshire in Burns's day!
