One of the hardest things to do was to replace Mairead on our committee and Liz was nominated and agreed to help to begin with by organising a Christmas dinner.
A decision was taken over the possibility of producing a new anthology for 2019. A sub-committee was formed to investigate costs with our favoured Gipping Press, and dates submissions will be required and print and delivery dates. Beryl, Georgina and Dave will work together on editing work. They will investigate the possibility of selling not only the anthology but our members books in the Library.
The Jack Wilkinson Memorial Trophy will have a different theme for each meeting next year. The first, on 19 February will be stories about children. The second, on 20 August will be for stories for children between the ages of 7 and 11.
Cathy will act as liaison for both Felixstowe Scribblers and the Orwell Writers' League in respect of the Felixstowe Book Festival.
We will provide one press release after the Book Festival but also attempt to have sample stories from the anthology read out on local radio.
A new Writeathon will commence in the New Year.
Opportunities will be given to members who would like to spend a few minutes talking about their experiences of writing novels, publications and writing at future meetings.
Our next meeting will be held on Tuesday 4th December when the homework theme will be "They didn't even care."
Until then,
Keep Scribbling!!!
