Changes afoot at Scribblers

The recent AGM was over and done with by tea time.

Beryl has offered to take over as Treasurer and Liliane has will help as Social Secretary.

Our members want to organise a meal at the Brook Hotel on Feb 22 or thereabouts and Les will enquire about the carvery for that day.

We had a discussion on what members would like to change or have added to the meeting structures and Barry is working on a schedule incorporating all of the suggestions.

Everyone agreed they would like at least two sessions where two people with long or serious or parts of novels would read to the group, one in each half and in that period have all present critique the work. There were two members who said the lack of such evenings was a reason they were doubtful about staying with the group.

So then there were the suggestions of an historical homework meeting, a geographical meeting and perhaps a picture evening where someone brings a postcard or a picture and we have a session of writing about the picture, then of course the four words. A four word exercise was completed in the second half of the meeting and everyone thought it was both hilarious and brilliant.
