Minutes of Scribblers meeting held on 4 September 2018
Present: Dave, Tony, Gerry, Liliane, Rani, Beryl, Bridget, Cathy
Apologies: Kay, Hazel, Steve, Jim, Anne, Liz, Derek
Business:
None this time, though Dave did share photos of his grandson Noah, and gave us a positive update on his progress.
Readings of homework
The topic for homework was ‘Tales of place’, and as expected, we heard some very different stories, plus one poem.
Bridget – A letter of introduction. This was an excerpt from a longer piece of work
Dave – Seventy miles to care
Gerry – Into the maze
Tony – We’re all going on a summer holiday
Liliane – Adventure in Monaco
Rani – The soundless city
Beryl – Tea at the ABC, 1951. This was an excerpt from her novel
Cathy – In a mother’s heart (a poem)
The readings and following discussions didn’t take as much time as usual, and since all present were happy to end the meeting early, we all headed home at about 9.30.
Next meeting:
18 September, when we will be enjoying a flash fiction session. The topic will be drawn from the selection we have already prepared, so no need to bring anything along except writing implements! And no homework this time.
