Still going strong in Gorleston

Hi, I'm Hilary the administrator of the Blog for the Gorleston Rural Writes group.

For your information, we meet every fortnight at Gorleston Library. Our next meeting will be on 31st January when Julia Webb will be giving a Masterclass in Poetry. The group are very much looking forward to this and to prepare, we are each composing a poem to be read on the day of Julia's visit. We have moved our original meeting date of 24th January to accommodate Julia's visit so our next meeting after 31st will be 7th February and every fortnight after that.

All our work this term is focused on Women of Norfolk to celebrate International Women's Day on 8th March. Our aim is to have enough material to produce a small book of prose and poetry later in the year. As we no longer have the services of Bel or the editing skills of Lynne in our armoury, we would like to call on our opposite numbers in both Swaffham and Watton to become our 'critical friends'! We are happy to return the favour too!

Over the next few weeks, we will be posting some of our work on the blog and would appreciate feedback from members of the other Rural Writes groups ( or indeed Bel if you want to contribute!). 

If the administrators of the other groups would like to contact me you should already have my email as I sent it to you before Christmas, if not, Bel has it and I am sure will forward to you.

Meanwhile, let's make sure that we keep the flag flying for Norfolk Women Writers!
