We are a friendly, informal group of (usually) nine or ten members, writing a story each once every four weeks.  Story titles are chosen in turn by members themselves, so that each month we all write to the same title.  Part of the pleasure of the group is discovering how an identical title can take us in such different directions!  At our meetings we each read our stories in turn, usually followed by a short period of positive and encouraging discussion about our inspiration, ideas and techniques.  If there is time to spare, we might engage in short-form writing exercises to a particular prompt to develop our skills.  Although members of the group have many different motivations and aspirations, in general it is our goal to become gradually better and more skilful writers. Examples of the sort of fiction we have produced during 2021-22 can be found on our Home Page. The intention is to update this material every couple of years. Home Page
