Minutes of Scribblers meeting held on 5 March 2019
Present: Dave, Tony, Kay, Georgina, Liliane, David, Carole, Derek, Justin, Jim, Jane, Anne, Cathy
Apologies: Steve, Hazel, Beryl
Business:
A warm welcome to Jane on one of her rare visits!
Anthology – Dave has extended the deadline for submissions to the end of March. Some ex-members have also been invited to submit work; Angela Petch and Bridget Robinson have responded positively.
Readings of homework:
‘On the beach’ was the topic, and it really inspired us all. One or two of us brought in appropriate works that we’d written previously, and others had gone for new pieces. We had everything – tragedy – laugh out loud comedy – tales of danger and rescue – crime – the list goes on. David and Carole even treated us to a two person sketch/reading!
Liliane – On the beach
Jane – Excerpt from her novel in progress
Georgina – A fine line (poem)
Derek – One murder, two murders
Justin – Hold music
Jim – Sex on the beach
Dave – Trapped
Tony – Chapter 21 of his book The Sword of the Kings
Cathy – Landguard, April 1807
David – A letter in the post
Carole – Where’s Gerry?
Kay – The promise
Anne - Untitled
All in all another excellent evening.
Next meeting:
19 March, when we have one of our flash fiction sessions. No homework to be done, and the prompt will be drawn from the selection we already have prepared, so just bring along writing implements – nothing else needed.
