It is such a pleasure convening this group! We had an enjoyable and very absorbing day sharing 'I Was There' stories in late May. Our next meetings/topics are -
June 12th - catch up at the Northo 2.30 to 3.30 pm - bring something you'd like to share and/or a draft, a story you missed sharing; ideas for stories; etc.
June 26th - our final regular meeting in W4 at the Flexible Learning Centre... An Act of Rebellion Have you ever challenged authority, defied expectations or fought for your beliefs? Choose a single, defining act of rebellion in your life & tell us about it.
July 10th - we'll be piloting a slightly different structure for our optional alternative fortnight session, with creative writing from 1.15 pm to 2.15 in our new home at the Benalla Senior Citizens Community Centre, followed by a coffee and catch up session for everyone who'd like to come at the Northo 2.30 to 3.30 pm.
July 24th - our first regular meeting at the Benalla Senior Citizens Community Centre 1.30 to 3.30 pm - Travel Tales Everyone's got at least one good travel story to tell. Share your best story of adventure or misadventure in 500 words or less.
Plus: Something to keep in your back pocket to bring along to share one day at either the Northo or regular meeting 'If only I'd ......'
and a topic for new members keen to write more (this was one of our early topics in 2015)
‘Car Stories’-- ‘So many formative moments happen in cars – tell us about a memorable experience you had in yours. It could be your first taste of P-plate freedom, a revealing in-transit conversation, or how an accident, a flat tyre, or parking ticket set off a chain of events in your day…or?’ Check out some ‘Car Stories’ on ABC Open’s 500 word project page or some of our group's stories by typing 'Car Stories' into the Search box at the top of the page.
