January 2020

First of all a happy new year to members and friends Our first meeting of 2020 was 8th January and it was attended by most of our regular members plus two prospective members, who both showed great potential, to the extent that one of their pieces of work for our ten minute writing warm up was chosen along with a piece from our member Jane, to be submitted to the Grapevine church magazine. It was a lively evening with various pieces of ten minute writing on different photographs of quite obscure countryside and buildings of interest, provided by Mary. A large part of the evening was taken up by members reading out their pieces of fantasy science fiction prepared since the last meeting. These provoked a lot of interesting discussion and highlighted the different approaches, by everyone, to the subject of “time for a change”. Dates for your Diary- Our next meeting will be first Wednesday 5th February 2020, starting at 7.30pm and will comprise a workshop by Emma Purshouse, City of Wolverhampton Poet Laureate. The meeting is open to anyone. There will be a nominal £5.00 entry charge for non members but you will probably get a cup of tea and a biscuit included. The meeting to be held on the 4th March 2020 will be a presentation by one of our members Richie S. Moore – Psychotherapist and Mind Coach, on social media further details will be in my next blog My best regards and keep up the writing Eric Newton Vice Chairman
