the £100 prize.

Thank you all so much for making this inaugural competition such a success. Hats off to David Braziel as independent
judge and all who helped in the background to make this a memorable occasion. Poetry needs a platform and found one in
Abbey Lane @Open Mic Nights.
Winning poem; 'Benny' by Jordan Rafferty
Couldja give me a hand, Benny? Can't get
the lid off. Gotta get my smiles from a pill
bottle, Benny. Nothing else for it these days.
Doctor says I've got a touch of the blues but
I ain't talking about all that jazz. Scars ain't
worth the stories that gave you 'em, don't
you know that yourself Benny?
How're you anyhow benny? And the old boy?
And the missus? Gone? All Gone. I'll split
a smile with you Benny, if I can get the damn
lid off it. Man needs a wife and a father, you know,
Benny? They know where the bottle opener is kept.
Do you hear that Benny? Can't beat Gershwin
on vinyl, not for the world. You don't have
one on you, do you benny? Anyone'll do.
Can't stand this old one anymore. Too green,
too blue, too full, too lonely. Pick me out some-
-where new, Benny, near a hardware shop. Can
never have too many bottle openers. You know
the score Benny. Some place where they only play
Our house on repeat. Had enough of old Blue eyes
Benny. Think I'd quite like brown now. None? No?
Not to worry. A mug’ve brown will do just as well.
You ever had your tea leaves read Benny?
It's all Hogwash, don't give 'em a penny Benny.
A Washerwoman at the Fair read mine Once.
A dog or a King or both says she to me, Benny.
What d'you make of that eh, Benny? Unclear says she,
Another fiver might clear her eyes a bit. I left on
a question mark. A question mark, Benny.

Membership subscriptions for 2024-2025
- Details
Hello All, The Committee wishes to explain a simplification of our membership/subscriptions policy.
We are very grateful to everyone who has contributed over the years, be it monthly or annually and be it large amounts or small amounts, but we think it is fairer and much simpler in future for everyone to pay annually, at the same time and by the same methods. We have decided that we are going to start from scratch commencing 1st September 2024.
The annual subscription to remain/become a member of Armagh Theatre Group will continue at £30 pa minimum (there is no problem if you wish to contribute more, that is your option and is much appreciated) payable on the 1st September each year.
Payment can be made either by:- Bank Transfer: A/c Name: Armagh Theatre Co Ltd. Sort Code 90-20-47. A/c No. 40166793. Make sure you give your name in the reference. Or by cheque: made out to Armagh Theatre Co Ltd and sent (or handed to) Tim Hanna, The Treasurer, Armagh Theatre Group, 1 Tower Hill Close, Armagh BT61 9HY
Members who have already paid in 2024 i.e. since 1st January 2024 will have their subscription rolled over and will not be due to pay again until 1st September 2025.
All paid up members will be entitled to vote at AGM and to become members of the Committee if so elected.
The annual subscription is vital to offset a proportion of the cost of our annual overheads, namely insurance, heating oil, electric, entertainment licence, website, auditing fees and general upkeep of our building. If you currently pay by direct debit or standing order you will need to cancel these arrangements as in future annual payment will be by either Bank Transfer or by cheque as outlined above.
