Minutes of Scribblers meeting held on 18 December 2018
Present: Dave, Tony, Beryl, Steve, Liz, Kay, Derek, Georgina, Liliane, Jim, Gerry, Cathy
Apologies: Anne, Bridget, Hazel, Jane
Business:
Dave thanked the group for another excellent year.
Cheques for Scribblers’ donations to Dick’s chosen charities were signed at the meeting, ready for sending to funeral directors.
Anthology: During the evening Dave, Beryl and Georgina had a brief preliminary discussion about preparing the anthology.
Readings of homework:
The topic was ‘That smell reminds me of …’. Stories were shorter than our usual homework ones, to make time for a brief ‘party’. Short they may have been, but as ever, a wonderful mix for us all to enjoy.
Dave: That smell
Beryl: The scent of lavender
Liliane: Christmas past
Steve: Once upon a time on the railway
Tony: Awakening
Jim: Wheelie
Kay: Last summer
Derek: A load of Christmas nonsense (poem)
Gerry: The light show
Georgina: The bee and the biscuit tin
After the readings we spent a pleasant hour chatting, and sharing the festive snacks that we’d all brought in. A delightful way to end 2018.
Post Christmas meal: Tuesday 29 January, 7 for 7.30 at the White Horse pub, Church Road, Felixstowe. Liz will be following up with menu choices for those of us who haven’t yet let her know our requirements.
Next meeting: 8 January 2019. Free choice of topic for the 1000 word homework.
