'As Time Goes By' provides an outlet and support for members keen to write about their lives and to tell stories their families may not get around to asking them about. A number of group members are continuing to write stories for their 'portfolio' during the break, sharing stories with one another online through the website each month. This month Betty contributed a poem for the newsletter and her web page written in response to 'COVID-19', Barry and Margaret reflected on Anzac Day, while Joy, Elizabeth, Ray, Bev and Marg wrote about 'Winging It' or 'Taking the Plunge'. Stories due in late May for 'Turning Point' and a catch up story by Marg Nelson for February's topic 'Something I'm Proud Of' have already been submitted.

'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
