History Books of Drogheda
Poems, Prayers & Tales from the Far Side
During Covid I compiled this collection of poems from pupils who attended any school, primary or secondary, boys or girls or mixed situated in St. Mary’s Parish, Drogheda. Some of the poets are still attending school, others are adults & others have passed on to their eternal reward! There was no special launch for this publication and is available from the author & the usual smaller local shops.
The Boyne Yacht Club
My main project since the publication of “Amateur Drama from Drogheda & District” published in 2021 has been a history of “The Boyne Yacht Club” based in Mornington since 1954. This publication has been co-written by Linda Patton and myself. It tells the story of the ups and downs of a young club through interviews with former members, family memories, photographs etc. After 18 months of hard work, it was ready for launching. The launch took place in the Monasterboice Inn, Monasterboice, Drogheda, on September 12th.The book was officially launch by Tom O’Reilly, a yachting enthusiast & former member of the Boyne Yacht Club.
