After two years running the annual William Carleton international summer school, I have handed over the reins. Dr Frank Brennan who is based in Dublin is the new Director and I wish him well. Already there are exciting plans being made for the 2014 event which will be held at Corick House Hotel in Clogher, Monday 4th to Thursday 7th August.
At the Annual General Meeting of the William Carleton Society at Corick House, a new committee was elected for 2013/14. I will henceforth be acting as Membership Secretary and also handling the publicity as PRO.
