Wauchope Book Club continues to grow in 2009. Attendees of the monthly meetings, held here at Wauchope Library, are now busily organising a Literary Lunch for the local community. They are fortunate enough to have secured a guest speaker in the former NSW State Coroner, author, and now recent Port Macquarie retiree, Derrick Hand. Derrick’s book, aptly titled ‘The Coroner’, chronicles many of the notorious cases he has been involved in over his career. They include such well-known cases as Michael Hutchence, Kerry Whelan, and Anita Cobby, to name a few.
The Literary Lunch will be held at the Traveller’s Rest Hotel, Long Flat on Thursday 24th September at 12pm. Tickets are $20 each and include a two-course luncheon, tea or coffee, and of course an enthralling talk from Derrick Hand. Tickets can be purchased at any of Port Macquarie-Hastings’ Libraries. Places for this event are very limited however, so book early to secure a place.
For more information on the lunch, or Wauchope Book Club, call Wauchope Library on 6581 8162.
