The Adelaide Plains Chapter and Verse Writing Group meet weekly at the historic Prince Albert Hotel, 109 Murray Street in Gawler (that's the main street). It's a lovely pokie-free, family pub with a warm and welcoming atmosphere, and the proprietors and staff are very welcoming.
This hotel is also the venue for Gawler Poets at the Pub, which is held on the last Sunday of each month from 2 til 4pm.
The bar serves good coffee and a great menu if you decide to stay for a meal.
In the beginning, there was a poetry group - Adelaide Plains Poets Inc.. This group grew and prospered, until... one person left, another person left until there was only one person left. That person, though saddened, wasn't destroyed. The group had been set up to further poetry, and further poetry she would! She continued the poetry competition, talked about poetry, attended poetry events, wrote and shared poetry... Then along came a project - Adelaide Plains Chapter & Verse!
The new publican at this hotel's doing a great job of connecting with the broader community, and I'm really enjoying becoming a regular member of that community.
