Meeting report for 5th July 2011

On a warm and very humid night we had, very aptly, as it happens, 12
individuals attend a meeting with the subject being, 'The Jury'.

Those attending included;

LILIANE CAROLYN, BERYL, TONY, MARTIN, CATHY, SANDY, SALLY, RAY, BARRY,
DAVE and a first time visitor, ROBYN.

Stories were varied and every one had the potential, having, as a rule
twelve ready made characters, of being developed into some excellent
longer pieces. These were entitled as follows;

Liliane, My doom to love you

Carolyn, Diary of a trial

Beryl, 36 times

Tony, Very 'umble beginnings

Martin, Witness

Cathy, A motley crew

Sandy, Justice at any price

Sally, Don't judge a book by its cover

Ray, Jury Rig

Barry, Thumbs up

Dave, Justice

Robyn, Read a part of Chapter One of her book Angel Cat.

Robyn also had a general chat with regard to our members being
interested in contributing towards time slots on Felixstowe Radio,
either with short readings or chats concerning the art of writing and
how we all tackle the subject.

Apologies came from Dick and Stephen who were embroiled in training
sessions at Languard fort, Caz, Trish and a final one from Les.

The next meeting will be on the 19th of July. There will be NO
homework subject for this meeting as Ray and Beryl will each be using half the meeting for a reading followed by a critique of longer pieces they are working on.

I will endeavour to get the pieces from these two in advance and
forward them to you all. You will know if you will be attending the
meeting so will have an opportunity to read and study the work, and be
ready with comments that have been duly considered.

Thanks to all who attended.

Barry.
