The bus has 4 days left to make another €519 to meet its target of €1950 at fundit.ie HERE http://www.fundit.ie/project/pb4-issue-4-of-the-poetry-bus-mag if we don't meet the target we get nothing !


SO! Here is an amazing offer/opportunity. The wonderful poet Kona Macphee has kindly donated a voucher for Darina Allen's world famous Ballymalloe cookery school at beautiful Shanagarry in Co.Cork.The voucher is valid for the whole of September and entitles TWO people to a wonderful afternoon that includes lessons at the cookery school PLUS a gorgeous lunch for TWO!

The cookery lessons alone cost €140.Lunch there is very rare and by invitation only so this may be the ONLY chance you might get to have this experience!! It is not possible to put a price on it as there are no prices!!
I'm looking for offers to pledge to the poetry bus.The highest offer over €140 will get the voucher and a copy of PB4!! Please share this and spread the word!
 
Here's a taster from Ballymaloe
 
'When you step through the little wooden side gate­ and into the courtyard of Ballymaloe Cookery School you enter a different world. A world where the whole emphasis is on food - growing it, preparing it, cooking it, eating it and, crucially, enjoying it. A world that feels wonderfully cut-off because it is in the middle of ten acres of organic market gardens'
 
PB4 with 90 perfect bound pages of poetry (Lemn Sissay, Ian Duhig, Noel King, Lyn Lifshin, Alan Jude Moore plus many many more including new and exciting voices!) cutting edge illustration, articles, reviews, cartoons PLUS free audio CD of spoken word and music tracks INCLUDING James Yorkston!!
All this packaged and posted to your door for a pledge of €10! Sure ye'd be mad not to!
