Hi everyone,
Hope you all had a happy Christmas and New Year. Mine was like most people's hectic with visitors and visiting. Lovely catching up with far flung family.
Now back to normal whatever that is supposed to be.
This Friday 6th January sees our first meeting of 2012. Hope you can all come along to contribute to selecting a theme for the Maynah Lewis May Competition. It looks like Cheryl has secured us a judge for this year's competition but she will tell us all about it on Friday.
Just had a thought that because it's both the Queen's Jubilee and the Olympics this year we should have a mini competition this summer. What do you think? Let us know either on this site or at the meeting if you can attend.

Hi Chris

Happy New Year to you and all the Wirral Writers.

Please keep me posted re Maynah Lewis competition. Thanks to my shift pattern having been changed, I'm unlikely to be able to attend until April (!), which is pretty annoying. Of course, they can always change the pattern back.

Have a good early part of the year, and I'll be catching up as soon as I can.

Regards and Best Wishes

We were very lucky, and pleased, that we got this person to judge this year's entrants. Gee Williams began her creative journey as a poet. She has had work published in a variety of places, including -   The Pan Book of Horror and being broadcast by BBC Radio 4. She has won many book awards including The Book Pl@ce Contemporary Short Story Awards, Pure Gold Fiction Award 2008, and was short-listed for Wales Book of the Year 2009. The winner of this years Maynah Lewis Competition is, Liz Fisher.  Liz's story, Checkout Nine , was an amusing tale set in the seaside resort of Blackpool, of singer, River Banks and a chance game of darts. There were two joint runners up - Paul Mann with The Diary and Amy Watkins with The Long Song -  both these stories centred on someone's diary and were set in dystopian futures. Gee also gave two commendations for Lynne Quarrell and Chris Black.  Gee was very generous with her feedback and general advice to wr...

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...
