Wit, wisdom, political satire, social comment, poems of love and passion, and humour
— Spring Tides Poetry Group are to be congratulated on creating such a rich
poetic feast. It has been a real pleasure to read this very fine and varied collection,
and then to re-read it again and again.

Spring Tides Poetry Group
Dissolution Meeting
26 October 2011 at Belmont Cinema Bar
Present: Mark Pithie, Roger Barnett, Keith Murray, Sheila Reid, Grant Fraser and
Valerie Irvine-Fortescue.
Apologies: Jim Wilson, Alasdair Gordon, Andrew Gordon.
It was decided that due to the lack of attendance through recent months, the lack
of funding and a proper place to meet, that we would dissolve the group.
It was agreed that the remaining funds from the group account, namely the sum of
£110.72 would be paid to
Malfranteaux Concepts for the furtherance of Keith Murray's publication
of poetry chapbooks.
It was also agreed that some of the people in the group would still meet in the
Belmont Cinema Bar to discuss and criticise one another's work.
This would be on a strictly informal basis and not under the banner of Spring Tides
Poetry Group.
I also undertook to close the bank account and to inform Alisdair Gordon who was
nominally the treasurer of the group.
