Creative Voices Ireland, Mullingar Toastmasters, Westmeath.

Brian McLoughlin, the creative genius that set up Inklings Writers group and fellow Inklings member Lorraine Murphy, bring us on on a journey into the writers mind:They explore among such areas as: - Creativity- Introspection- Vulnerability- Accountability Both talk about their writing group  that borrowed its name from the famous writing group that included C.S. Lewis and J.R.R Tolkien in Oxford. They talk about the rules of the group, the members and the experimentation that goes on in the group.It is a special insight into a group of talented writers. Brian and Lorraine both have new books coming out this year and they give us an insight into those and the creative process. Like a book is a door to somewhere else, this podcast is a door to the world of Inklings! Inklings face book page: https://www.facebook.com/pages/category/Writer/Inklings-Mullingar-Writers-Group-100731565002345/Contact: Brian McLoughlin on email BMMcLoughlin@gmail.com

Senator Eileen accepted the invitation of our President Maria Costello to attend our club as part of our 'Other Voices Series'. The aim of this series is to give a platform and voice to marginalised communities. It highlights the challenge of exclusion and its far reaching consequences.  The Senator gives us a great understanding of the challenges the travelling community face and how we can help with a message of inclusion. Article from the Mullingar Examiner of the meeting https://www.westmeathexaminer.ie/2021/03/12/mullingar-toastmasters-other-voices-series-welcomed-senator-eileen-flynn/
