We all have a story to tell, or there’s a poignant letter to a friend, a humorous poem or nostalgic script lurking somewhere in the back of our minds.  Now is the time to settle down and put ‘pen to paper’; it is so therapeutic to offload jostling thoughts into a coherent readable whole.
 
Can you create a short story, make a parody from a well-known poem, or even write a play? Perhaps rewrite your life experiences onto that computer screen in an entertaining or informative way? This can encourage others to have a go too. We are all about support and encouragement. No  experience is necessary, only the desire to have a go.

It is said that we all have a book in us, and with a little gentle nurturing, everyone can write poetry. Even a few jottings can start the ball rolling…
 
The Group Leaders Mike & Sheila started the Group in 2022, meeting alternate Wednesday mornings in member's homes. Such has been the success of the group that it has now grown as large as sitting rooms can accommodate, so there is now a waiting list pending the time when the group can move to a larger venue:  Please contact Mike if you would like to join the waiting list​, 

The Group now contributes a piece of writing each month towards our u3a "Newsline" magazine.  Here are some of them:

Childhood Summer Sonnet
​The Lost Muse
Conquering Hero
