“I had a great time at the Book Club Festival and I’d like to congratulate you and all the committee on doing a wonderful job. The festival is a great idea and I’m sure it will go from strength to strength”. (Marion Coy).

“It was a wonderful festival, with great content and great organisation and input everywhere. It was the kind of organisational feat that makes me remember, yet again, what happens when great women undertake something… No fuss, no bluster or blather, just doing something marvellous. I really enjoyed myself…It was a delight”. (Mary O’Donnell).

“Thank you very much for the hospitality. I enjoyed giving the talk…Well done on a fantastic programme”. (Martin Morris).

“I had a very enjoyable time at the festival and I do think that people who came to the presentation got what they needed out of the information we were sharing. Ennis is a lovely town and I think I would seriously consider coming over for the festival as a participant in the future”. (Colleen Fitzgerald, National Council for the Blind of Ireland).

“I loved every minute of the festival…I congratulate you on how professional you all were while at the same time being so cordial and down to earth. Obviously there is organisational genius at work in tandem with some old-fashioned human warmth and hospitality. A rare combination! The poetry reading was an inspiration, and the panel was a lot of fun as well covering a lot of serious ground… Something that you did which particularly impressed me was the way you combined so many different interests and kinds of writing, from the popular to the high-brow”. (Richard Tillinghast).
