Minutes of Scribblers meeting held on 3 April 2018
Present: Liliane, Dave, Bridget, Cathy, Beryl, Di C, Tony, Anne, Kay, Derek, Hazel.
Apologies: Mairead and Jim.
Business:
Security – after the concerns at our last meeting when we thought an unauthorised person might have gained access to the library building during our meeting, Dave locked the outside door at 7.35 – this will be the policy from now on. Unfortunately the door bell doesn’t work, so latecomers may have to bang on the door to gain attention.
Excellent turn out for the evening, and we were pleased to welcome new member Hazel to the group.
Tony is seeing his publisher again this week – looks as if his book launch will not be too long in coming – all looking forward to it.
Ex-Scribbler Angela is running her creative writing course in Italy again this summer – Dave has already circulated details.
Readings of homework
The topic was ‘The best laid plans’
Dave – The best laid plans
Anne – The hairdresser
Steve – It’s just German culture
Beryl – Coalville
Di – a story from her published book
Kay – The celebration
Derek – Marford House
Liliane – Planning something different
Hazel – Gay Paris
Tony – Three days
Cathy – A good man
The tales were amazingly diverse; of a motorbike accident, a disastrous dye result at a hairdresser’s, and the mishaps of Celeste in Paris to mention but a few. Highly enjoyable.
Next meeting: This will be on 17 April, when the homework is to write up to 1000 words on ‘Tales from the past.'
