The days have sped by since the last meeting - at least we have managed to endure a couple of days or so of sunshine! Really perks you up!
Next Tuesday, 18th March we host the first Jack Wilkinson Memorial Trophy for attending members only. Run on slightly different lines to the BB trophy, the quest is to write up to 1,000 words as a story (or poem) for children.or, alternatively, a story that has a child as an integral character. Members will be asked to read out their own work before choosing their favourite story of the evening. When votes have been cast the writer with the top marks will be presented with the trophy which will be held for six months. In the event of a tie then Caz will have the casting vote. It will not need to be engraved as the winner will also be presented with a certificate for their achievement. The meeting starts at 7.30pm.
Please note that I made an error in saying that Derek's work could be read out as an entry despite him being away on holiday. It was my mistake and on this occasion his entry will be allowed.
After the last meeting notes were sent out I received the following from Cathy which referred to those notes:
'I just have to say I agree completely with Dave's comments - it was an amazing session. Thank you everyone for making it so thought provoking, albeit in very different ways.'
I understand the Felixstowe Book Festival programme will soon be available - we all need to talk about the anthology and hopefully a few minutes can be allotted at Tuesday's meeting.
Hope to see you all at the meeting on Tuesday.
Until then,
Keep Scribbling!!!
