dear Geraldine,
The New Zealand Division was pretty rough
and ready in the old days but on this occasion
Scott Hamilton did post a clarification
which was rather well put
in which he had a beer with Les Murray
but didn't like his poetics.
Melbourne Trades Hall is a bit of an arts centre
these days, by the way.
best
Hugh Tolhurst
