Jack's Memorial competition is almost upon us. This Tuesday, 7.30 start in The Room at the Top. It's time to make a challenge and try and lift the trophy from Gerry though I dare say Gerry won't want to give it up too easily!
Just in case you are a little unsure of the rules for the evening, they are:
It is only open to attending members.
· The entry should be up to 1,000 words written for children or, alternatively, a story that has a child included as an integral character.
· Whenever possible, independent people will read out member's work.
· Members will vote for their favourite work of the evening.
· When votes have been counted then the writer with the top marks will be awarded the trophy.
· In the event of a tie then Caz will have the casting vote. In the absence of Caz then a secondvote will be taken to choose one of those stories as winner. In this case only, it is permitted for writers to vote for their own story.
· The trophy does not need engraving; instead the winner will receive a certificate for their achievement.
· The Jack Wilkinson Memorial Trophy will be held twice yearly.
Winners must undertake to return the trophy at the next staging of the competition.
Looking forward to seeing you Tuesday so, until then,
Keep Scribbling!
