Programme Change


Unfortunately, due to ill health, Lynne Hackles will no longer be speaking at our meeting on 6th April. In her place, we will be given a talk by Andrew Brammer.

Andrew is a local and national award-winning storyteller and public speaker, who will be talking to us about Writing Humour Based On Personal Experiences. During the meeting, we will also be getting a taste of Andrew's tall tales. The storyteller's tall tales have proven so popular that, within the last year, he has sold out 3 shows at The King Of Hearts.

For information on this year's programme, please go here.

Write Here Right Now


This evening, at The Assembly House, we held one of our regular Manuscript Evenings.

Tonight gave the opportunity for both Circle members and visitors read their work aloud in front of our welcoming group. The wide variety of work read aloud included a children's tale, a humorous short story and a chapter from a science fiction novel. Each reading then lead to everyone being involved in a variety of interesting and engaging discussions.

We also saw several new members join our writing group.

The next Writers' Circle meeting, on 2nd March, will be a talk by writer and photographer John Worrall on Illustrated Features.

We hope to see you next time.
