The News

Ten brave souls ignored the cold, icy weather to attend our meeting tonight including Rani who is down from London. Once again we heard ten very diverse stories all delivered with professionalism capturing the imagination of everyone in attendance.

Great meeting, shame that some had to understandably call off and miss the entertainment.

Thankyou to those who came along.

The Scribe

Tonight's meeting is ON...

The NEWS is that despite the inclement weather the decision has been made to go ahead with tonight's meeting at the Room at the Top in the Library. Start time remains at 7.30pm. The topic for tonight is 'News', so there may be plenty to hear.

Hope to see you this evening... take care and be safe...

Keep Scribbling!

Coming to the Leisure Centre soon...
