The first event to be organised will be a meal at the Brook Hotel around the 22nd February. Dave will continue as our esteemed Web Scribe.

The list of meeting dates and a provisional schedule of meeting agenda is available on the weblog.

Following the meeting we had a short Creative writing exercise using our four word format. Twenty minutes of writing produced the usual brilliant short pieces incorporating the four words we had each picked out of the hat.

Jane’s words; Pilch???Toe-rag,magpie and subsequent.
Jack; Cheese,rainbow,bathroom and perfidy.
Rhani; Posh,vulture,inebriated and lunar.
Liliane; Captive, cosh,redemption and food.
Dick; Fishing,silver,monitor and Jerusalem.
Peter; Fatality,mandible,equable and problem.
Tony; Aviator,intoxicated,stars and strangled.
Barry; Alchemy,distribution,legless and outrage.
Martin; Baby,blonde,starling and Avocado.
Les; Impregnable,splutter, bohemian and pis-ed.
Beryl; Rollmop,unholy,detective and kindling.
Gemma; Perfume,crow,hope and masticate.
Angela; Personal,mulch,forever and assize.

As I said, the results of twenty minutes writing involving these words and forming a cohesive short piece was nothing short of amazing. You had to be there!!!

So ended our first meeting of 2011 and a warm thank you to all for coming and an even warmer thank you to Beryl for taking the reins of Treasurer and Liliane as Social Secretary.

Regards
Barry, Your Secretary.
