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from autobiographies, poetry, children’s stories, or purely descriptive articles to full–blown novels which may or may not be published at some stage.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 2011

Malcolm’s book has now been published and Nigel’s is almost ready. Two members have had articles published in the local press and we are all enjoying ourselves and learning from each other.

March 2011

One or two of our members have had articles published recently and two of our members are busy working on full-length books. We have recruited one new member.
