With the sudden lockdown announced yesterday Saturday 21 August, the opportunity to meet together in the U3A room suddenly disappeared! So - it's on to Plan B and/or Plan C (you choose)! Plan B is to send your stories to me at [email protected] for sharing on the website as we did in 2020, while Plan C is to send your stories to me at [email protected] and join in a Zoom meeting to read stories through together and provide responses to the story teller in a supportive environment.
If you would like to join our Zoom session - here is the invitation/link:

A reminder of the tomorrow's topics:
The topic for Monday 23 August is ‘Crash!’ The brief - 'It could be a car crash, it could in fact be any other crash. Write about a crash, from the sudden moment of impact to its impact on your life, in 500 words.'
A popular topic offered as an alternative in August is ‘Stock and Land’ - 'Tell us about a significant memory involving farming, agriculture or rural life. You must include mention of at least one animal or crop and one piece of farm equipment. If you haven’t lived on a farm, you might like to write about a long-remembered visit to or experience of a farm or agriculture, something referencing rural life, ideally set in the northeast. It could even be about memories of a visit to an agricultural show or about backyard chooks in urban settings. Write about something you haven’t written about before which you’d like to share with your family and others'.
Coming up on Monday September 27 '
‘If only I’d…’ Even though we are advised not to dwell on ‘if only’s’… we often do! Write about an ‘if only’ moment in your life in 500 words, describing the context surrounding it as richly as you can. Choose something which won’t make you depressed, something you feel you have ‘dealt with’, but at the same time something which shares the impact of even a brief moment in your life
‘Right Here, Right Now’ (R) (F) ‘A time capsule of the present. Write a story about a situation currently unfolding in your life, right here, right now.’
