Our next meeting is rapidly approaching and will take place on Tuesday 17th April when the homework assignment is to write up to 1,000 words on "Tales from the past." As always the choice or period and whether your story is fact or fiction is entirely up to you. Of course if the theme doesn't appeal to you then please bring along a piece of your work on any subject but remembering not to exceed the maximum word count.
I must remind you that the door will be locked at 7.35 pm so if you are running late you will have to knock on the door and perhaps shout until the bell is fixed.
Here is an interesting email received from Felixstowe Forward: I know we are not a poetry group but perhaps you would like to consider providing a poem for the National Dementia Action Week? We can discuss it at our meeting on Tuesday.
Dear Catherine and Dave,May 21-27 is National Dementia Action Week and the Felixstowe dementia Action Alliance will be working in the town to raise awareness of dementia.The week is focused around memory and poems … there will be a display in the coop Window, shops and dementia friendly businesses we hope will be wearing blue and helping decorate their windows in blue and feature poetry,.I wondered if there was any way that Scribblers might also be involved ie perhaps your May meeting focus on writing poems around memory / poetry readings?Please do let me know so that we can include you.(Its not about raising money but more about raising awareness).Kind regards,Helen GreengrassFelixstowe Forward Change DirectorFelixstowe ForwardSuffolk Coastal and Waveney District Councils
