SCRIBBLERS NEWS
The evening was devoted to the anonymous competition for the Bill Budner Trophy. A really good turnout for the meeting with some excellent and high standard work produced. It was unfortunate that three writers were unable to participate in the competition itself.
Tony is appearing in Springfield Follies pantomime production of Babes in the Wood at the Kesgrave Community Centre on Saturday 30th January, Friday 5th and Saturday 6th February. Details of times and prices are posted on our weblog at http://scribblers2010.blogspot.com
A long established amateur dramatic group, the Springfield Follies support local charities.
Also on the weblog are details of the Bristol Short Story Prize that has a £500 first prize, £350 second prize and a £200 third prize. Worth looking at!
