After a fast and furious joint folding session at the Gracefield Arts Cafe tonight – lubricated by a couple of bottles of wine – the Crichton and Dumfries Writers groups are happy to announce that Issue 7 of the Fankle – the ‘over a barrel’ edition, for reasons now lost in the mists of time – will be hitting the shops and libraries of the county in the next few days.

In these inflationary and recessionary times, its cover price is still amazingly only 50p. You’ll be able to get your hands on one at Wigtown this weekend, or else in one of our many stockists across the county.
