Jump To Comment: 1Clearly pressure of work resulted in the 'Over the Edge' people forgetting to mention that The Dark Gate Writers' Group, established by Margaret Cullagh, originated in the Western Writers' Centre, and that the group meets in the Western Writers' Centre offices each Wednesday lunchtime.
These omissions do occur, though it was hardly fair to the Dark Gate participants to give the impression that they came out of thin air and had no base: the 'Over the Edge' project itself began life in the Western Writers' Centre, as a project then entitled 'On The Edge'. Not to worry. You're forgiven!
