What a great end to the year! Lots of stories & really good attendance, despite all the competing priorities at this time of year! We had a great variety of stories, and had a lovely time discussing them. The programme for 2026 was formally approved and is now live on our website. Thank you to everyone who contributed. It only remains for me to wish all our writers a happy Christmas, and a prosperous and prolific New Year! Newsletter December 2025 FINAL.docx

It's time for November's newsletter! We had a week less than usual to put together our masterpieces due to October's meeting unavoidably being put back by a week, and the compressed timeline seemed to inspire us all as we had an unprecedented 14 stories! Thinking of joining us? Don't wait for the New Year - jump in now! The group's inaugural meeting was held in December as far back as 2008, so December's a great month to try something new! We are very friendly and we learn so

October's meeting was a week late due to unforeseen circumstances, but it was well worth waiting for as we had some fantastic stories! We also had a new member, and it turned out to be a really good meeting. Thinking of joining us? Do it! It's great fun, and we're not remotely scary! :-) Newsletter October 2025 FINAL.docx
