On Saturday 24th, the speaker at Cumbrae Contemporary Poetry Society will be Cara McKee from Largs talking about poetry as conversation. The group meet at the art studio within the Cathedral of the Isles grounds from 11am-1pm.

A poem at Largs and Fairlie railway stations this month is from island resident Frances Melling.
The poem is published by Poems and Pints of Largs and is the latest in a long and successful series prepared by Largs Writers' Jack Muir for the stations. 
Poetry is very strong in this area and the new Cumbrae Contemporary Society's success shows the strength of this new wave in this part of Scotland. 
The latest competition is for poetry fit to appear on the walls of Suki 's famous toilets on the island.
