Yes tonight produced work from twelve of the sixteen writers present. Included in the sixteen was a first time guest, Steve (another one!) and Tom who was a regular two or three years ago.
The subject was "Lazy Old River," and produced so many excellent stories and accounts that it left one overwhelmed by the standard of work the Scribblers created. Well done everyone!
A supply of anthologies ran out quickly meaning that one or two people were disappointed on the night. We have managed to go through half the stock already and still have outstanding orders for another twenty or so. Some orders will be completed at the next Orwell Writers meeting and the rest at our next meeting. If any are urgently needed then please contact scribblers.1@btinternet.com and we will see what we can do to help.
It is good to know that the cheque for the anthology has been signed and will be posted to Gipping Press tomorrow.
Talking of books, our friend Debbie in France kindly sent four copies of her 'Colette' to us and these were snapped up quite quickly. I am certain there will be some positive feedback for Debbie.

Liz has suggested a summer meal at the White Horse once again, probably towards the end of July although no date has yet been fixed. Watch for details.
Our next meeting is the Genre one that will be held on 16 July. A slip up was made whereupon we had no actual genres to select so, a consensus of opinion means that we can select our own genre, the only stipulations are that your selected genre must be clearly stated and that there must be the usual maximum of 1,000 words.
Until next time,
Keep Scribbling!
Dave
