Movement at the station…. poets gearing up for another Breakfast

Spring is in the air and the Conondale Range Committee is ready to host another of its popular Kenilworth Poets’ Breakfasts. With the sounds of the woodchop arena still echoing through the hills, the poets are poised to bring a new rhythm on the morning of Saturday September 24.

It’s all part of the Kenilworth Celebrates festival September 24 to October 1^st, and has continued to grow since its tentative beginnings out the back of the scout hall more than a decade ago, to the point where it is now an annual favourite with poets and audience alike.

Hosted by popular local poet Ian Mackay, this year’s breakfast promises to be better than ever with a good line-up of poets and yarn spinners, some familiar faces and some fresh ones too. As well as the polished performers, there’s always time for a poem or two from the audience.

 The Breakfast mouths off at 8 am, in the woodchop area beside the Kenilworth Hall in the town’s showgrounds with the entry price a mere $5. Coffee and cake can be purchased from the Conondale Range Committee stall or a more substantial breakfast from the kitchen capably commandeered by the Kenilworth Community College.

Following the Breakfast, there’s ample time to visit the impressive art display, the centrepiece of the Kenilworth Celebrates Festival, in the nearby hall.

Increasingly attractive is the option of camping in the showgrounds and simply strolling over to the Breakfast in the morning. Phone 5446 0131 for details.
