Meeting report for 7th Feb 2012

Here's to all members that braved the cold and crunchy weather on Tuesday evening.

Ten of us made it to the meeting: Dave, Caz, Carolyn, Dick, Tony, Rani, Liliane, Martin Barry and Ray.

The homework subject was NEWS and we had the usual diversity of entries ranging from true life to way out there.

Herein a short indication.

Tony gave us a stand up version of a news summary with many misprints.

Rani, another portion of her Ed stories. Where the narrator was checking papers and hearing strange voices.

Lilian, a long conversation piece with lots of chit chat.

Martin. A touching story from Anglia News of a tragic accident involving Kelly Green and her donations to other people in need of organs.

Ray reflected on his youth in Kent when he was a butcher's boy with many famous or soon to be; people.

My contribution was a brief run through of three weeks in America, trapped behind the Iceland volcano.

Dave gave us more involving Pauline called The Waiting Game.

Caz amused us with her shopping spree with a reluctant partner, searching for a red coat and the Lost Glove (ed: what about this as a follow up to the Lost Sock???)

Carolyn had a piece of most truth about the time
when a relative has to be told he is too old to drive. (but never too old for emotional blackmail.)

Finally Dick gave us a true story of how Herr Hitler spoiled his perfect day out at the seaside when war was declared.

Thanks to all and the next meeting will be on 21st Feb where there will be no homework, just two long pieces read by Dave and Tony, with the meeting giving feedback on their efforts.

Keep Scribbling.

Barry.
