ONCE AGAIN THIS YEAR we are holding four competitions judged by professional writers : as well as the annual poetry and short story adjudications, we have an essay competition. Our fourth competition is for a memoir. There are also four workshops, again run by professional writers, and four organised by our own members. But we can hold as many workshops as people want to attend, so if you have any ideas, speak to a committee member.

Please note our New Time Slot from 7.30 - 9.30
