The topic for our regular meeting on Monday 24th April at 1.30 pm is ‘Failure’ – the brief – ‘Write about a failure you’ve experienced – from the commonplace to the catastrophic’ – in 500 words.
Our optional café catch up meeting at the Northo was well attended, with seven participants gathering on Labour Day to share contributions including Pat’s stories on the theme ‘Shut Up’; a timely and fascinating article Shirley found on the many uses of the word ‘up’; Joy’s story on the alternative topic ‘I Broke It’; and readings from some cleverly written ‘100 word novels’ published in in a recent ‘Monthly’. Bev explained that it is best to keep our regular topic stories until they are shared in class, though they can always be shared at the café catch up afterwards if we are unable to present them on the nominated day. By the time the next newsletter comes out our stories on our March topic, ‘Stock and Land’, will have been shared.

'As Time Goes By' - Memoir WritingExplore your life's extraordinary moments with "As Time Goes By - Memoir Writing", a creative outlet and supportive community for members eager to pen the stories of their lives that their families may never have the chance to ask about.
A memoir is a selected slice of one's life, a captivating glimpse into a particular theme, lesson, or experience. In our monthly sessions, members embark on a journey of reminiscence, sharing stories in response to themed writing topics, with a recommended limit of 500 words. "As Time Goes By - Memoir Writing" is not a traditional writing skills class. It is not designed to guide you through the process of creating a detailed, timeline based autobiography. Instead, it's a platform for sharing profound and cherished moments of your life within a warm and empathetic community of fellow memoirists. Convenor & Contact detailsBeverley Lee
