    That's all cool. :-) The more copies folk can bring the better. Could I ask though that folk RSVP if you're coming because, amongst other things, it helps people judge how many copies to bring. One between two is fine... Cheers, Andrew

    Regarding what Barbara wrote about her hearing..... I suffer the same affliction too, and it would be great if you could copy out any stuff you are going to read out, for us to look at, or if you could come sit between us and we could look over your shoulders while you read!!!!! Sorry, to disagree Barbara, but there is stuff that others can do for us.... is that ok with you, guys?

    Good Lord, your effing Worst Story in the World really is a carte blanche to let rip innit? Well, I will bring a latex ridden newpaper article along tonight. Beware, it is crap.

    •  Such a wide range of writing ideas covered tonight - poetry, crime, introspect, high octane story creation where we heard the openings of an intriguing murder story - I'm gripped and want to hear more before the month is out - full moon to full moon stuff.... and what is more, I did not feel threatened by the criticism style - all quite positive, really. Also, there is no ban on the Kelmanesque style..... such freedom of thought. 
    •  I enjoyed the evening very much. We have some good writers amongst us and I really enjoyed most of the items read out. Points to consider for future meetings, could include starting at the said time, improving the lighting so it is easier to read (if possible), and keeping a tighter control of the meeting. Ring or email me if you want clarification. Please note : I have a hearing problem and have to mentally compensate - converting sounds into words- so there will be times that I really do not hear, or times I mis-read what is being said. There is nothing anyone can do about this. 
    •  It was interesting to say the least!
