What we do

We are a small group of people who like to write, and we write anything we fancy from autobiographies, poetry, children’s stories, or purely descriptive articles to full–blown novels which may or may not be published at some stage. Our work can vary in length from a few lines to a few pages or more. We do not have a set theme.

At our fortnightly meetings we read our latest work, providing copies for other members which they take home and read again at leisure, and at or next meeting we will review what has been written and make helpful (we hope) comments on other member’s work.

You can read some examples of the group's work via the Gallery page.

We are all amateurs who just enjoy writing. If you like to write, why not join us?

Reports

July 2010

One of our members has had a poem published in a national women’s magazine and another has the promise of being published in the nostalgic section of the Westmorland Gazette. Our main aim is to entertain each other and we would always welcome more members. Our group would be even more vibrant if there were more of us. How about joining us?

Our new members have settled in well and we are producing a good variety of work.

From the 7th January 2010 we will have our meetings in the AA Room at Castle Street Centre. We have recruited three new members of late but have room for more if anyone wishes to join us.
