February arrived, and we welcomed several new members to the class. We were not able to use the U3A room for our class, so we are still waiting to meet them. Instead we continued the process we followed in 2020 and contributed our writing via email, with feedback also by email. This was a much harder for our new members as they were less familiar with the process. We are looking forward to welcoming them face to face as soon as the U3A room is available. To support this, we will have a meeting on 8 March, even though it is a public holiday, subject to the room availability.
The February writing topics were:
There was a wide range of stories, from lost and new loves (loves from the past, a new pet), new experiences (lost in the jungle, living on an outback station), unwelcome visitors (advice or help needed, the wolf seeking access to the third pig’s home), lessons to learn (need to grow up, learning there is more to saving the environment that not using plastic). There was only one story of a dark secret, and a very dark secret it was. On a lighter night we had one on the story of lost dentures – well not quite lost, just dropped in a most unsavoury place. Well done to all our writers this month.
The topics for our March class are:
For our 8 March class, we will be sharing the stories via email, with feedback discussion when we meet (assuming the room is available).
