Problem with Website

It appears that we are not able to access our website, in fact nobody seems able to view The Norwich Writers' Circle website. However, it is possible to access the blog direct, so if you are able to read these posts perhaps you can pass on the message that we are aware of the problem and we are trying to rectify it.

Flash Mob

Following the Flash Mob which descended on The Norfolk & Norwich Millennium Library on 5th June, a video of the event is now available to watch online.

Please go here to watch the mob in action, including Norwich Writers' Circle member Anne Sanderson.

Mob Rule

Yesterday, at roughly 2.00pm, a Flash Mob descended on The Norfolk & Norwich Millennium Library.

For the next 30 minutes the mob alternated between silence, indvidual reading and collectively reading aloud an extract from the Simon Armitage poem The Christening. Included in the mob was Norwich Writers' Circle member Anne Sanderson.

The event was organised by Writers' Centre Norwich to celebrate reading and to show their love of libraries. The flash mob was also designed to promote WCN's current Summer Reads scheme.

To read an extract of The Christening please go here.
