Minutes of Scribblers meeting held on 8 January 2019
Present: Dave, Tony, Beryl, Liz, Kay, Georgina, Liliane, Jim, Anne, Cathy
Apologies: Steve, Hazel, Jane, Derek.
Business:
It was pleasing to have such a good turnout for our first meeting of the year.
Dave mentioned that during this year we will be involved in a Writeathon – more details on this at later meetings.
Also, a reminder that there will be a further Scribblers’ anthology this year, so we must all start thinking about the stories we would like to offer for inclusion.
Post Christmas meal: this will be at the White Horse pub, Church Road, Felixstowe, on Tuesday 29 January, 7pm for 7.30. Liz is dealing with menu choices – if you haven’t already spoken with her about this, please contact her on erwalesisat@gmail.com as soon as possible, as she has to get our menu choices to the pub in advance of our attendance. Information for those who haven’t been to a Scribblers’ meal before - we pay for our meals and drinks individually – we don’t follow the practice of splitting the entire bill between those attending. It is often easier to pay cash rather than use cards.
Readings of homework:
We had the luxury (or not!) of free choice of topic for our homework. Plenty of interesting, moving and quirky stories were the result.
Jim – Dead ex-husband
Anne – The New Year’s Eve party
Liliane – Atonement and retribution
Beryl – You
Georgina – A la carte
Kay – Future tense
Liz – The stories eyes can tell
Cathy – Rose for rememberance
Tony – Awakening
Dave – Sitting, waiting, hoping
Next meeting: 22 January 2019, when we will enjoy a word based flash fiction session. No homework required, but don’t forget to bring writing implements!
