The battle for the trophy

What a great evening of entertainment The Bill Budner Trophy provided. It was an honour listening to all the eclectic stories that were entered into the competition. Read in turn by Beryl and Dick, the stories kept everyone riveted to their seats.

In the end there was one winner, and three joint runners-up.

A new name will go on the Trophy this time. Congratulations to Steve Barnes who produced a very humorous tale entitled 'The Age of Innocence'. A worthy winner.


The joint runners-up were 'The Dip into the Training Manual' by Dick, 'The Long Dark Winding Road to Singleton' by Tony and 'That Sinking Feeling' by Dave.

Steve will hold the trophy for six months.

Dave reminded everyone that our Honorary President Ruth has invited all the Scribblers to the launch of her new book 'My Sister and Other Liars' this Saturday, 6 May at 6pm in the Felixstowe Library. Hope you will be able to attend.

Our next meeting is on 16 May for a Flash Fiction evening when, by popular demand, everyone is asked to bring along four words, each on a separate small slip of paper. These will be deposited in a hat and then everyone draws out four words which must be included within the flash fiction work. More details on the day!

Until then,

Keep Scribbling!!!
