The final meeting of the year was held on Tuesday the 12th of December. Our venue was full of festive cheer, thanks to the volunteers at Newby & Scalby Library. An array of food, provided by Circle members, also lifted the spirits. With curry and cheesy twist, Waldorf salad, and all manner of home baking, it looked too good to eat, but we managed.
Well fed, we knuckled down to the focus of the evening: a ready prepared story of three hundred words. The approach taken by members was, as always, varied. Discussion followed regarding clichés, humour, and gnomes — yes gnomes.
The 2024 programme starts on Tuesday 9th of January at 7p.m. Bring along a piece of your work and tell us about your New Year Writing Resolutions. Everyone welcome. Guests pay £4 per session. Members pay £36 for the year, by cash or direct debit. Details will be sent out soon. Light refreshments are charged at £1.
