The 500 words topic for our meeting on July 20th from 2 to 4 pm is 'Lost and Found' – “Write about a time you lost something you owned, treasured, or believed in - and the lengths you went to, to get it back. Maybe it was a precious family heirloom you misplaced, an adventurous toddler who wandered out of sight, or perhaps you lost your way in an unfamiliar place. Take us on the search to find your lost thing. How did the loss affect you and those around you? Were you reunited? Was it back to business as usual, or did your life change in ways you could never imagine?" Some ‘Lost and Found’ examples are already appearing on ABC Open. We are a small group and would welcome new members in Semester 2.

'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
