I called in to see Les earlier in the week and am glad to say he seemed quite cheerful despite all the problems he has faced recently. I know others have either seen him or have promised to visit. His anticipated stay in Needham Ward is likely to be a long one so, if you can, I am sure he would love to see you. Visiting is from 2pm to 7pm.
Our next meeting is rapidly approaching. This will be on Tuesday 17th March at 7.30pm. It will be one of our four word creative writing sessions which I hope you will come along and enjoy. Please bring along four words on a separate small slip of paper and drop them into the hat ready for the fun to begin!
One of our 'lucky' members could be invited along to Radio Suffolk to be a Sunday Morning paper reviewer! All you would have to have cup of tea or instant coffee, sit on a sofa and skim through the big pile of Sunday papers from which you would need to select four or five articles which would then be discussed on air for aound thirty minutes (7.30-8.00am). If you are interested then please let me know!
A message from Debra Rowe at the Library: You may have heard of author Ruth Dugdall is launching her new novel, Humber Boy B, here at Felixstowe Library on Saturday 11 April at 7pm. As you may know this has been chosen as the Festival Read this year at Felixstowe Book Festival where Ruth will be making an appearance. I am delighted to report that five book groups who use the library will be reading her new book before the end of June. Regardless of whether you will be reading it as a group or even if you are coming to the Festival you are all invited to attend Ruth's book launch. Ruth is very approachable and an excellent speaker. This is a free event where Ruth will give an introduction and read from her new book and will do a book signing. Books will be available to purchase on the night. You don't need a ticket but if you could let me know if you are intending to come by 4th April I can pass numbers on to Ruth so she knows how much wine to bring! Family and friends are welcome too.
Our details on the IPscene Community Website have recently been updated and can be found at http://www.ipscene.co.uk/writing/#felixstowescribblers A poster explaining everything they can help with will be available at the meeting.
Keep Scribbling!
