Tales of Place meeting.

Yet another superbly attended meeting with many really fascinating tales to tell. Factual and fictional work abound. Flooded with both humour and facts, it made a thoroughly enjoyable evening. That we had the background bells of the Gainsborough Ladies ringing may have disturbed us through the majority of the evening but didn't spoil our enjoyment of all things literary.

It was nice to welcome back Martin after an absence of some six years. In that time he has lost none of his masterful writing skills. Great to have him back.

News from Felixstowe Radio is that they will soon be rebroadcasting a series of literary work that was recorded around five years ago and should last some 92 weeks! Included during that time will be previously broadcast short stories from the Scribblers.

The Writeathon is bouncing along and is now with the eighth member on the list. From memory there are now twenty writers on the list. It all makes for a fascinating story. Thinking positively, this should be completed before our next anthology in 2021!

Talking anthologies, we now have two copies left for sale - if anyone wants them, please let Dave know. Meanwhile the e-book version is yet to proceed due to a rather hectic schedule.

Finally, following a request from the library manager at HMP & YOI Hollesley Bay via Woodbridge and Felixstowe Libraries, to assist in setting up a creative writing group there, we thoroughly discussed the possibilities but most felt the distance was prohibitive whilst many did not feel they had the ability to help. A response will be sent in the next couple of days. Whatever the outcome it just goes to prove that the Scribblers have made their mark in this tiny corner of the land.

Our next meeting will be a flash fiction evening - so no homework this time folks! - just bring along writing materials and we'll draw out the subject at the start of the meeting. It take place on 17th September. Until then...

Keep Scribbling!!!
