We meet once a month on the first Monday in each other’s houses. Each session starts with a ten-minute writing exercise and then we share our prepared pieces which have been written on a theme chosen collectively at the previous meeting.
Our group has been operating for seven years and we have produced a considerable body of work. In March 2023 we decided to publish a small anthology of some of our favourite stories. We dedicated this book to Jackie Rickard, a member of our group, who died suddenly in June 2022. Entitled “The Bird on the Wire” we were delighted to sell every copy. We raised £375 for the Florence Nightingale Hospice. This summer we also managed to hold a writing workshop which was delivered by the local author Morgen Bailey. It was great fun and gave us lots of tips for improving our writing. She also suggested some ideas for future writing exercises.
At the moment our group is full but if you are interested we could put you on our waiting list, or support you in starting a second group.
