It doesn't seem possible that our next meeting is only a couple of days away already. Time, it seems, gets faster as we writers mature...(well that sounds better than 'get older' doesn't it?)
Our attendances have been excellent of late and, with this in mind, we will soon have to look at the word limits for our homework assignments. For the time, the 1,000 limit stays although in the current climate we will welcome shorter work.
The forthcoming meeting is on Tuesday 1st October with a 7.30pm start. That's when we would normally lock the door but it is possible that the Gainsborough Ladies may have a meeting downstairs in the former café area so watch this space! Oh, and a reminder that even though October beckons, the homework assignment is "May Day!"
Currently we await the next instalment of the Writeathon but once received it will be forwarded to the next lucky writer on the waiting list.
Two important dates for your diary:
Tuesday 15 October, The Bill Budner Memorial Trophy (present holder, Beryl)
Tuesday 5 November, The Mairéad Reidy Crystal Ball Award (present holder, Derek).
You can read up about Bill and Mairéad on our weblog where you will also find details of these competitions.
Hope to see you all on Tuesday so, until then,
Keep Scribbling!!!
