Wirral Writers Party

By -
Great Party last night - one of the best Wirral Writers' do's I can remember. The highlight has to be Alan on his mandolin, brilliant! If I'd have thought on I'd have recorded the gig and put it on You Tube. Next year, maybe.

I have some sales news - my story 'Thousand War Soldier' is now up at Ray Gun Revival . Thanks to everyone for your input on this one, it seems to have paid off. Why not pop over the website and see how the final edit looks.

And if you're in the mood for some genre fiction next weekend (Sat 10th December) I'll be at Parallel Dimensions in West Kirby, doing some reading and chatting. Also Jon Mayhew will be there, so please come along and say hello.

Hello writers, Just a reminder that tonight will be our first night to try out a new venue. We will be meeting at The Bridge Inn, Port Sunlight Village, as a trial run for future meetings. As mentioned at the last meeting, we will be having a meal beforehand - in lieu of our Christmas Dinner - so please attend at 6pm, after which, we will retire to another room to continue our usual club session. Information about The Bridge Inn can be found here -  https://www.greeneking-pubs.co.uk/pubs/merseyside/bridge-inn/ And hopefully this map and link will assist with finding the location. https://www.google.com/maps/place/Bridge+Inn+Hotel

Hi everyone, Just a few words to say what a lovely day we had on Sunday at Brook Meadows. The meal was very good and the company excellent. (It goes without saying) Once again the flash ficition proved a hit. The choice of words gave a lot of scope for some quite inventive tales. I'm sorry I didn't say good-bye to everyone. I got talking and it was five o'clock before we realised it and I assumed that everybody had left. I think Doreen and myself were the last to leave. The weather, well what can be said of such a stunning Summer Day. the hottest I believe for a few years. Arthur didn't make it because he had hurt his foot but hopes to be with us on Friday. I didn't pick his email up until Monday. I've uploaded this photo but it's too small and I'm not sure how to make it larger. I'll print one out for Friday and bring it with me. Another piece of news just received a minute ago. Claire Oxley can announce the winner of the Maynah Lewis competition on...
