Dear All,
     I am re-affirming proposals for the celebration of the 150th Anniversary of the Birth of JM Barrie. Over the past two years I have been working on ways to honour the man and his works that we have all admired and discussed and debated over.
     to this  end in the town that he was born Kirriemuir (Thrums) has agreed to have a year long celebrations with events of different kinds ranging from book festivals, street theatre amoungst other things.
As a member of this site and Annon Society  I want to arrange our own tribute to JMB. To this end I would like to know who would be interested in coming to Kirriemuir in May 2010 on his Birthday to pay hommage to Him.
My proposal will be on his birthday to visit his Birthplace then visit the places in his books ,followed on by a performance and recreaction of some of his speeches, in the Town Hall including "The opening of the Bazaar"(the one when he addresses the invisible canary The original Clarinet is on display at the birthplace.)"Courage" address, I am also hoping that this will be recreated at St Andrews University also. and many others I am sure that you will nominate other speeches for inclusion I will be greatful for your opinions.I do hope that guest speakers for the afternoon on JMBarrie topics I am sure Andrew will contribute towards this.
   Please remember that this will be run on a shoe string budget, and if any one out there has a spare shoestring, please let me know!!
yours from Sunny Scotland
Iain
