Scribblers on Sunday is a varied and versatile group of writers with one thing in common: a love of poetry and prose and sharing this love with other writers. Members' ages range from teens to retirees which gives a wide scope of interest and experience in the written word. The group published its first book, simply called "Scribblers on Sunday", in 2006.

Scribblers meets in a social atmosphere on the second Sunday of every month at the Carindale Library meeting room from 10.30 am until 12.30 pm. The group extends a welcome to those who write, perform, or simply enjoy being part of a listening audience.

Many of his poems are humourous, although he sometimes touches our emotions with his more thoughtful and soul-searching verse. His ever-devoted wife, Rona, accompanies him to most poetry meets. Peter has self-published three books, "The Bashful Baker from Banyo" and "The Baker Rides Again" and "The Naïve Baker".
