A reminder that our next meeting is on Tuesday, 21st January when we hold the Bill Budner Trophy. This is in memory of Bill who died in 2006 and is an anonymous competition with the following guidelines:
Short stories up to a maximum of 1,000 words on any topic
Work must be typed (on single sides of paper)
Entries must be completed before arrival at the meeting
Work must be anonymous - no names or identification marks on the paper
On arrival at the meeting work will be placed face down on a designated table
At a given time all members will collect one entry (but not their own!) and will be given time to familiarize themselves with it -whenever possible all stories will be read by independant readers
The stories will then be read out to the group with everyone present marking their top three entries
At the end of the evening all marks will be added by a nominated adjudicator.
The winner will then be announced and the prestigious Bill Budner Trophy presented to them by the previous winner.
The trophy will then be engraved by Scott at Mr Cobbler in Felixstowe
The trophy will be held for four months until the next competition
The holder undertakes to return the trophy to Felixstowe Scribblers and advise of any change of address.
This is also a special meeting in as much as the trophy will have all the engraving spaces completed when the winner’s name is entered. Will you manage to win the cup and add your name to those previous winners? Good luck to everyone !
The meeting starts at 7.30 so I would ask that everyone arrives on time.
Until then,
Keep Scribbling!
Dave
