Meeting report for 19th October 2010.

Those present : Peter, Beryl, Liliane, Dick, Tony, Dave, Stephen,
Trish, Gemma, Martin and Barry (chair).

Apologies from Leslie.

The Coast to Coast competition organiser, Maurice James, passed away last Friday.
Our thoughts are with his family.

This was a meeting that surprised a few of the doubters among us. Just those that doubted their ability to write a spontaneous entry from a few lines of a random book. Every piece was different and every piece showed that we all indeed, have the ability. Some were funny others very sad and others holding a sense of 'serve him right!' The line we all continued from was as follows:

'The old man had spent his entire life surrounded by unimaginable power and wealth . . . until now.'

The pieces were entitled as follows.

Peter. The missing harbour.

Beryl. Family question mark.

Liliane. Black dreams.

Dick. The island.

Tony. Undercover boss.

Dave. Over and out.

Stephen. Tale of two cultures.

Trish. The three big hoggs.

Gemma. The price of happiness.

Martin. Courage.

Barry. Downward spiral.


The next meeting is on the 2nd of November and will be the Halloween
meeting. !000 words on any scary subject you can think of and the
meeting will be held in torchlight.

Thanks to all who attended and we look forward to the next meeting.

Barry.
