The AGM.
First of all we must thank Liz for
taking over as secretary for the meeting as Cathy had an emergency. Secondly to
welcome Thalia to the meeting on one of her rare visits. She is Liliane’s
granddaughter.
We had a very interesting and positive
Annual General Meeting and the minutes will be forwarded round to all our
members in due course.
For your information, the committee was
re-elected, that’s Cathy, Beryl, Liz, Georgina and Dave.
We now have a new account in a different
bank meaning that our funds will be transferred over and the HSBC
account closed.
There was a date error in the proposed
programme for next year - the social evening meal at the White Horse is on
Tuesday 11th February and not the 12th as shown.
There is a likelihood that we will have regular
social meetings, - not all meals! – during the year. Watch this space.
Just to confirm all homework and competitions
will have a maximum limit of 750 words.
Following the AGM we had a 15 minute
flash fiction session using one or more of the prompts drawn out by Thalia. These
were:
‘Along the Road’, ‘The Glass Smashed’,
and ‘106 High Street.’
Liz in Cathy’s absence and was so
interested in listening to the stories she forgot to make a note of the titles
used, however, as Georgina said we seemed to have forgotten to put away our
Halloween costumes as many of the stories had a supernatural twist.
Kay Along the Road …a spooky tale about
a derelict house in the Fens and its ghoulish inhabitants!
Martin Along the Road…a very literary
inspired piece referencing Dylan Thomas.
Liz Along the Road the Glass Smashed… a
domestic situation.
Georgina Along the Road… an atmospheric
piece set in the Lake district when someone runs out of petrol and their phone
battery dies.
Tony Along the Road ..containing play on
words, a journey with an extra-terrestrial guide.
Jane Along the Road… a tense story of a
jealous man watching his ex-partner with a new man, danger is looming as the ex
has a knife!
Derek The Glass Smashed… a story with a
supernatural twist and a hand.
Dave ..No one believes a woman’s story
and she ends up in a mental health facility yet the local vicar knows she is
telling the truth but does not help her.
Liliane Along the Road… a tree had been blown over by a storm and a
driver reacts badly blaming everyone and even God for the disruption.
Beryl Along the Road … a young lady is
unimpressed with her date but he finally redeems himself.
Thalia Along the Road… walking along the road at night the character
encounters cats.
AGM minutes will follow in due course.
Until then,
Keep Scribbling!!!
Dave.
