Meeting report


Minutes of Scribblers meeting held on 18 June 2019
Present:
Dave, Tony, Liliane, Beryl, David, Carole, Anne, Georgina, Justin, Steve, Liz, Cathy
Apologies: 
Jim, Derek, Jane, Hazel, Kay
Business: 
Anthology – Dave took advance orders from those present – will be here in time for the FBF. We will be selling them at our workshop event, not at the FBF bookstall.
FBF complimentary tickets – so far Tony, Georgina, Anne and one other have asked for tickets. This leaves one spare ticket. They’ll be available to collect at the door of the Furneaux Suite at the start of the workshop session (2pm).
Flash fiction session – photograph/picture for inspiration:
Plenty of pictures/postcards/photos to choose from, and after the usual groans about our selections, and several changes, we spent thirty minutes trying to pull together stories from the images we’d each finally settled on. Hard work, but some excellent pieces came from it, so very worthwhile.
David – Waiting
Carole – Jolly
Beryl – This beautiful world
Tony – All things bright and beautiful
Cathy – Fright
Dave – None today, none yesterday, none tomorrow
Justin – Ruin
Steve – Unititled
Liliane – The apartment
Liz - Untitled
Anne – Sea View terrace
Georgina – Scotch on the rocks
Next meeting:
2 July, when the 1000 word homework topic is Lazy Old River.
