Teena Hartnett hosting 'Stories by the Fire'
We've enjoyed the warmth of many hosts over the years: Matteo, Niki na Meadhra, Ian McNally and Kate Lawrence and in recent times Teena Hartnett has taken on the task and become a loved and welcome presence at the Newport Festival in the old Scout Hall.

Friend of Storytelling Vic, Gerry Nelson, was the official Festival photographer and caught some beautiful images of the evening. Alex Kharnam recorded much of it on video and in time we can share some of the results. But for now, here is a glimpse into Stories by the Fire.

These winter story gatherings have been supported since their inception by Claudette D'Cruz and No Worries Curries. Claudette supplies us with the makings and litres of spicy chai are brewed throughout the winter months.

We thank all the storytellers that rock up to share their art, open up their hearts to newcomers and invite others to see what we are all about.

Vege soup around the fire. Please join us next year. It all happens on the Saturday evening in the first week end of July.
And finally a special thanks to Miles and Alex who rigged up some lights so we could actually gather and tell around the hearth.
