A couple of changes are happening with the Felixstowe Scribblers at the moment, and we wanted to gather some thoughts from our members and also ask if anyone might fancy getting involved in some of the 'behind the scenes' activity.
Liz, who has done sterling work in setting up and administrating the Repository, is going to take a step back from that. Georgina, who currently does occasional posts on the Scribblers Weblog, is willing to take on responsibility for the repository. However, doing both roles seems a bit too much, so we wanted to ask if anyone else is interested in either of the roles.The Repository administration involves receiving emailed stories from members, and posting them under the relevant members name. It also involves posting members' stories anonymously for the occasional competitions. The amount of stories to be posted depends on the amount being sent in by members. It can be done once or twice a week, or as and when they are received.
The Weblog administration involves posting news, writing tips, competitions or anything else that may be of interest to us writerly types. Ideally this would be done about once a week.
The Weblog and the Repository have been vital to the Felixstowe Scribblers of late, as we have been unable to meet in person. The Repository in particular has enabled us to share stories and comments and feel part of a real writing community, when so much else in the world has felt isolating and insecure.
We would like a response from all of our members please, to tell us what you think about the Weblog and the Repository (and if you have any comments on the WhatsApp group), or anything else that you think would be helpful. Please, in your response, also mention whether or not you feel you could help with taking on a little extra activity to keep your fellow Scribblers connected.
If you are interested in finding out more about how you could help, please contact Georgina or Dave by email. Guidance and support can be given to help build up confidence, and expressing an interest doesn't commit you to anything!
Looking forward to hearing from you.
The Scribblers Committee
