Hi
Scribblers,
Just a
few lines about next Tuesday’s meeting (7th October). Starting at
7.30pm the theme for the evening is to write up to one thousand words on ‘BOOTS’.
Please
send thoughts to Les who is not too
well at present and wish him a speedy recovery.
I have
received an email from Angela over
in Italy. She says she has been short listed again with www.mashstories.com for
a 500 word Flash Fiction, title: “Stage struck”. You can see her story by
going to their web page, competitions and click on current shortlists. Angela
asks that if you think her story deserves a vote then please vote for her! As a
distant Scribbler I think she deserves our support!
Tony tells us that
The Next meeting of the SUFFOLK READING FESTIVAL will be Friday the 11th
October at 1930 hrs. Need a good cast to give the play Robin has been trying to get read, a good airing. Plus maybe some other bits and
pieces. New readers always welcome.
