REPOSITORY
The Jack Wilkinson Competition for stories about children for an adult reader, is open for entries until 1st June. Stories should be emailed in the usual way to Georgina, making clear that it is a competition entry. Your entries can be in any genre of writing and should be no more than a maximum of 1,500words.
Once all entries have been received, they will all be posted on the Repository. Members will have a week to read and choose their favourite three stories. Please do not vote for your own story. Your top three choices should be emailed to Georgina stating 1st, 2nd, 3rd and the corresponding story titles.
Please don’t make any comments below the stories until the outcome has been announced.
All stories will be published anonymously, with only a story title and a corresponding letter of the alphabet. Once all votes are in (and scores have been double checked) the winning entries will be announced.
As we are unable to present the trophy due to the existing situation, an e-certificate will be awarded to the winner.
The more entries, the better, so get those scribbling sticks out!
Please email all contributions to Georgina

CORONAVIRUS
Due to the outbreak of Coronavirus, Felixstowe Scribblers have sadly cancelled all future meetings until such time as Government advice and restrictions are lifted.
This means a great upheaval to many of our writers, but we will do our best to keep you updated both on this weblog and by email.
We intend to maintain our writing with 500-750 word assignments that may be posted on here for a short period of time whilst our WhatsApp group will have regular 100-200 word exercises to help keep our creative minds working.
Further information will be released as soon as possible.

Gipping Press
Felixstowe Scribblers chose Gipping Press to publish their 2014, 2017 and 2019 anthologies. Our reasoning was based on their enthusiastic help, great track record and, more than anything else, the quality and high standard of their work. Our anthologies are testament to their expertise.
We anticipate another anthology in 2021 and will be seeking the help once again, of Gipping Press.
We can honestly recommend Gipping Press to anyone seeking advice in publication and for their very competitive prices.
Thank you Gipping Press.

In Memory
Martin Enticknap One time member of the Scribblers who stayed in touch from his home on Sanday in the Orklands. 2003.
Nobby Clarke A keen sailor, he relayed many amusing tales from his past life. Died tragically in a road traffic accident in 2004.
Bill Budner A lay preacher who joined the Scribblers and provided so many prolific words in his short stories. 2006.
Jack Wilkinson Our youngest member for four years, he provided so much laughter and talented creativity before losing his life to cancer at the tender age of twelve. 2006.
Allen Williams Our Welsh wizard had a wonderful wit that kept the group in fits of laughter. 2007.
John Crowson At 97, our most senior member. He passed just a week before he was published for the very first time in the 2010 Felixstowe Scribblers Anthology. 2009.
Doreen Rayner Published and very knowledgeable Felixstowe historian and former member of the Scribblers. 2012
Les Smith Such a welcoming and endearing character, his laughter, matched with his personality and his humorous writing leaves the Scribblers much poorer for his loss. 2015
It is fitting that we also remember Liam Fairhurst of Soham who died of cancer in 2009. He raised enormous sums of money for charity all beginning in memory of his friend and ours, Jack Wilkinson.
Maurice James, the creator of the Coast to Coast competitions and a great friend to the Scribblers. 2010

Dick Bradshaw A warm and friendly long term member. A wonderful and published writer with a wealth of knowledge and so many humorous tales. A very sad loss of a good friend. 2018
