A big thx to Greg for putting this obituary up at such short notice - without it some of Glenys' friends would have missed the funeral. It meant a lot.

We are currently speaking to Glenys' friends at the folk club with the idea of putting on a poetry and music night in celebration of her life. When we have some details I shall post them here and email people.

It will be nice to do something positive in her memory; good too to see everyone in a way that she would have wanted, with poems, songs and smiles.

On behalf of all of us poets who benefited so much from the efforts of the three of you, many thanks for your
praises of Glenys at her funeral service...it was an honour
to be there.

Sorry to hear this news. I only met G on a couple of occasions when I came across the hills but she was warm and friendly to me. Condolences to all her friends and family.

Chris,
How sad to hear of the death of Glenys. You are absolutely right to tell of the enormous amount she gave to the poetry scene. I have many happy memories of the events she compered with yourself an Natalie at the various locations. Her dedication (despite her poor health) was a shining example to us all.

We will be attending the funeral.

Glenys was a smasher - lovely warmth, appreciation of others and sense of mischief. The interplay between herself and the poets was a joy. The time she was carried up the stairs at Gallaghers, too unwell to climb them herself, was unforgettable. Queen of the evening.
