Vic wins poetry trophy

Troubadour Folk Club member Mr Vic Jefferies has won the Jim Angel Memorial Trophy for original poetry at Narrandera.

He also gained third place overall in the bush poetry competition of the John O'Brien Bush Festival.

The festival is held in March each year to honour and commemorate the life and works of Monsignor Patrick Hartigan, who for many years served as a priest in the town and who wrote some of Australia's best loved poetry using the pen name John O'Brien.

Mr Jefferies said hundreds of people travelled from nearly every state to Narrandera to enjoy a feast of some of the best talent in bush poetry.
