What a wonderful idea!! Only wish I could be there

[sMurphy]

Sounds great alright, but how does it work Sarah. Is it just open forum format or do the authors just repeat their 10 minute presentations? Sorry to be so stupid now, just a little confused!

[SarahW]

It's changed a little since then - 1 slot each now, instead of 2 - should be a great day, fingers crossed for the weather.

This sounds really fab! I might try to swing by Cabinteely on Saturday! I'm not sure yet if I can though. Can we just show up on the day Sarah, or do we need to buy tickets in advance?

[SarahW]

Nope, just swing by, Shirley. Do call in if you can.

[fionnuala]

My children absolutely adore Don Conroy - he is one of the most talented artists I have ever seen!

Hope it all goes well Sarah - it sounds like a great line up!

[Shirley]

Cool, thanks Sarah - I thought it wasn't a ticket job seeing as it's an outdoor venue, but I wanted to check just in case. Is this a library event? It's amazing - so many great authors in one place!

[Shirley]

I didn't get back to Dublin in time to make it out to Cabinteely :-( Sarah, I'm looking forward to reading about it on your website!

[SarahW]

Hi Shirley,
I posted details of Books in the Park here -
www.sarahwebb.info/sarahs-blog/
Hope you can make the readers' day on 29th Sept - that's the next big book event.
Best,
Sarah

[Shirley]

Thanks for the update Sarah!! NOTHING and nobody is coming between me and the 29th of Sept! Can't wait already!

[megan]

Well done on the event, Sarah. It sounds wonderful.

Like Shirley, 29th September is engraved into my diary. I will see you there!

[fionnuala]

Mine too! I can't wait!
