Whilst there are still problems updating the weblog we have to remember Mairead and her love for all things supernatural.
It was both a privilege and honour to have known Mairead. Such a lovely person, always with a smile, a friendly word to the newcomers to our group, a vast knowledge of virtually any historical event and a brilliant mind for stories in most genres. She especially enjoyed stories of the paranormal and often left us in awe of her words.
A member of Felixstowe Scribblers with whom she always felt so comfortable, she was also a founder member of the Orwell Writers’ League and an avid supporter and helper with the Felixstowe Book Festival.
Mairead died in her sleep at home on 23 May 2018 and is so sorely missed by her writing groups.
Halloween was a special time for Mairead who enjoyed all the spooky tales the Scribblers produced at that time of year. A crystal ball has been presented to us by Bridget Robinson as the prize for the new annual competition in memory of Mairead. The competition will be for Halloween, ghost or supernatural stories.
Normal competition rules apply so please ensure there are no distinguishing marks on your entries which should be typed and maintain a maximum of 1,000 words.
Looking forward to tomorrow, Tuesday 6 November. It will be a special evening.
Keep Scribbling!!!
Dave
