Where has the time gone? Our next meeting is virtually upon us, Tuesday 16 April, 7.30pm to be precise and in the usual place of course. The homework this time asks for up to 1,000 words on "Tales from the Past." How you define the past is entirely your choice as is the content. It is quite a popular subject, so I hope you will enjoy creating your story and delivering it to our group on Tuesday.
Well, time has been taken up with problems over signatories for our cheque account at the bank. I have been signing cheques for over five years after completing all the necessary paperwork at the branch back in 2014. Now wishing to replace Caz one of the signatories we are told that neither Caz nor I am not a signatory. Those that are recorded as such are no longer with us and no longer attend Scribblers. They include, amongst others, Ruth who is in the USA, and poor Dick who passed away last year. In theory we have just one signatory now, our treasurer, but we need two to appoint a new signatory... and two to sign cheques. We await a further reply to our letter containing the date of the meeting of which they apparently have no knowledge. Heaven knows what their security is like if I have been signing cheques for all this time without being challenged! The bank needs to sort it out and quickly too.
Talking banks, we have received a very welcome and large donation from Debbie in France which we will use towards the production of the anthology. Debbie used to be a member many years ago before emigrating to the other side of the channel. Debbie was a terrific writer back in those days and part of the reason for the donation was, she says, for what she learned at Scribblers. She has one book published, and has written pantomimes and murder mysteries for her locality in France. Oh, and she also designed the Lost Sock tee-shirt! A great big thankyou, to Debbie!
The anthology is coming along a little slower than anticipated due to family commitments and other work. But we're getting there. For those who have yet to send in a short two or three line biography and a picture, then please will you do so very soon otherwise I'll have to make something up about you!
Here's to our next meeting on Tuesday,
Until then...
Keep Scribbling!!!
