Desert Island Books
On Wednesday 8th October the club met in Omagh Golf Club to talk about the books which members would bring with them if marooned on a desert Island. As in the BBC Radio Programme,” Desert Island Discs” it was presumed that the castaways would also have with them a copy of the Bible and a copy of the Complete Works of Shakespeare.
Four club members came prepared and spoke about their reasons for choosing the following books:
Oliver Loughran: “The Day of the Jackel” by Frederick Forsythe
Harman Scott: The Snow Goose” by Paul Gallico
Hugh Ward: Palgrove’s Golden Treasury”, an anthology of poetry and verse
Jim McBain: “Mission Praise” A book of 1250 hymns and songs of Christian Worship
Despite the fact that only 8 members were present it was an interesting and entertaining meeting on a theme that could be repeated at some point in the future.
