Gawler Poets at the Pub

Well-known Poet and great SA character Nigel Ford.

Gawler 'Poets at the Pub' takes place on the last Sunday of each month, in the Prince Albert Hotel, Gawler, starting at 2pm. We have a core group of people who almost always come along, and extras who show up when they can. The event is put on by a committee, of which Carolyn Cordon is a member, and it's the friendliest little poetry reading around!

This event was taken on in 2010 by the committee when long time organiser Martin Johnson stepped back after running it in various pubs in Gawler for fifteen years. Martin did a mighty fine job, and I believe the committee is doing a good job too!


Those who want to read their work are asked to write down their name in the book and put a gold coin donation in the tin. Then they have their time to read their work, to be appreciated by the attentive audience. If the reader hands in their poems read as requested, they'll have the chance to be considered for the anthology which is put together annually.


This is all going well, and we've had some fine guest poets to entertain us, and are always open to requests from poets for the guest position if they have a new collection or any other exciting poetic happening. So if you like or love poetry and you can get to Gawler on the last Sunday of the month, come and join in!

The committee is made up of Helen Lindstrom and Carolyn Cordon.
