So near and yet so far.
How disappointing the way events are turning out. Further
restrictions from the Government means that meetings are virtually impossible
to arrange. Under these conditions I don’t think we will be able to meet again
for some considerable time and probably not this year. It is dreadful but this
is all out of our hands.
Hope.
All I can hope is that you will continue to support us and,
hopefully, offer some of your work for the Repository and the WhatsApp group. I
know it is difficult having a vision of what Felixstowe Scribblers should be
doing and how all our plans have been stifled. What our future holds seems to
be in the lap of the Gods.
Our Jim.
At least there is some good news on the horizon for our
Jim. He says:
First of all an apology. I said I
would let you know when Primary would be broadcast by BBC Radio Suffolk. I am
sorry I kept quiet about it. The Duologue was performed well but they did a 4
minute prerecorded chat with me which was crap! So I told very few people when
it was on.
However Radio Suffolk has
now chosen the other Duologue I sent to them for broadcast next Friday 18
September at 830pm. This time they are interviewing the actors. This one is
The Lockdown Barber which is in the Repository.
There is also a video of the
performance which you can see at - https://we.tl/t-EaDHsNeyE5 (when you download the files,
ignore the MACOSX one and open the other one.)
Well done Jim! Listen in! It could be quite entertaining.
Cathy and husband.
I understand Cathy’s husband, Nigel, is home now and
hopefully he will get better as time progresses. She has asked me to thank everyone
who sent in messages, she really appreciated your thoughts and good wishes.
Writing prompts.
There is little to say about our immediate future, just
that the committee have yet to meet up again but I see no desperation to do so
at this moment in time. The Government’s fresh rules have knocked the wind out
of our sails. Remember there is a future for us and we can help keep our aspirations
alive by participating in our writing ‘challenges.’ The current prompts are:
Repository: A
Sense of Place. No word limit but the deadline is Tuesday 15th
September when a new prompt will be posted.
WhatsApp: The
Big Soup Pot. 200 word maximum. Deadline is this Monday 14th
September when a new prompt will be posted.
Stay safe everyone and remember to:
Keep Scribbling!!!
Dave.
