Felixstowe Scribblers always seem to astound me with the quality of their work. Tonight was no exception.
With an excellent turn-out on what was a very cold and raw night it was really good to have Jane in our ranks again and with the promise that she will be back in the New Year.
Let's not detract from the stories, eleven really excellent pieces of work, each one brilliantly created and written in the authors' well-honed styles. Our members really are creative writers who produced the goods from the subject "They didn't even care." The variety of stories was immense but each brought unrivalled attention and admiration for their writers.
Well done everyone! One of the best evening's entertainment for some time.
The start of the meeting was quite sad as we remembered Dick and his funeral on Thursday, 6 December 2pm at St. Mary's in Walton. It is also very sad to recall that the services of both Bill Budner and Jack Wilkinson took place in the same church. Scribblers will make equal donations to both charities mentioned, Cancer Research UK and EACH (East Anglia's Childrens' Hospices) in memory of Dick.
For those who wish to make personal donations to either charity may do so either through the Scribblers or direct to the funeral directors (c/o East of England Co-op Funeral Service, 213 High Street, Walton, Felixstowe. IP11 9BQ)
Please make your cheque payable to the charity of choice endorsing the reverse with in memory of Richard Bradshaw. Thankyou
Other items discussed were the forthcoming meal which Liz has worked on and the Felixstowe Book Festival and display in the Library a few days earlier to sell out books and anthologies when printed.
Our next meeting will be our last of the year, on Tuesday 18 December when we will produce a shorter homework assignment than usual, no more than 500 words on the subject "That smell reminds me of..."
Keep Scribbling!!!
Dave.
