August 2020

Our Zoom meeting this month was held on Thursday 6 th August and was attended by the usual regular members. General discussion ranged from the current state of the virus epidemic to the effect it was having on people’s social and cultural activities. Several members had posted their July homework on “Slack”, which was “a travel article” and it was commented on by members at the meeting, how different the pieces where on the same subject and yet most were of visual impressions.. The meeting then discussed the NAWG competition. The results have not yet been published but Carol has been informed that she is shortlisted in the “memoir” section. Helen gave us an insight into her approach to writing a novel and said that she works most effectively when she has to meet a deadline. The homework for August was set by Mark as “ A story board for an imaginary musical”, maximum 800 words, to be submitted by 6thSeptember as our next “zoom” meeting will be on Wed 9th Sept. New members or returning members are always most welcome to join or rejoin, please contact us here or via our secretary Emma on our facebook page. See you there. Eric Newton. Vice Chairman.
