At the March meeting of the Writers’ Circle, six members read their entries to this year’s Arthur Hastings short story competition. The theme chosen, by member Karen Bluck, was Oliver’s Mount – a well-known Scarborough landmark. As usual, members’ imagination led to a wide variety of stories – romantic, tragic, mysterious, ghostly and sci-fi. Members of a local reading group judged the entries, and the joint winners were Sue Grogan and Diana Campbell. Congratulations to both.

The next meeting will be on 14^th April 2026, when member John Flower will lead the session: Writing Military History, fact or fiction.
