Business:
At the start of the meeting, Dave asked that all present give some thought to the AGM, which is to be held on 15 November. As well as our comments on the structure and content of meetings, he’d welcome our ideas of ways to increase membership, especially ways in which we might attract younger members. Please email him if you have any comments you'd like him to present to at the AGM. He will do a press release about Scribblers after the AGM.
Thanks again to Mairead, who not only brought in biscuits etc, but decorated the table with a slightly early Halloween theme.
With no homework readings to listen to, we set about the ‘flash fiction’ exercise. Almost all the postcards brought in were of static images, e.g. of a spider’s web, and a snow scene, amongst others. Most of us found it difficult to be inspired by our chosen picture. Nonetheless we did manage to write (and read out) complete stories – even if, as the writers, we weren’t too happy with them!
Next meeting: this will be on 1 November, when the homework is to write a ‘ghost’ themed tale of up to 1000 words.
