Quick Hello

Dear Mums and Dads of Addiscombe Young Writers and the Young Writers themselves.  Sorry I haven't posted for a couple of weeks.  I just never seem to get a minute!  Hope you are all well and enjoying the summer holidays.  There were only a couple of youngsters at the token August session and one of them was a new member, so big hi to Zenani and thanks for coming along,  I am so glad you enjoyed it along with Holly.  And even though we were so few, the enthusiasm was still there in bucket-loads!  Both girls got a lot of writing done.

Couple of things to let you know.  Firstly, the Exhibition in October will run for a week from 10th.  We will have a treble screen for our work so any that I have asked the Young Writers to hang onto, please could they bring them back when we resume normal sessions in September. We will not have a great deal of time in which to collate much.  But I will certainly get as much up as possible.  We have three sessions in September - on the 6th, 20th and 27th - this one is brought forward from 4th October as I have a wedding to go to that day so will not be around.  The 27th September is absolutely the last date for submissions for the exhibition, but I will explain that all at the next session.  Also, I will be handing out comment sheets to both the grown-ups and the children asking for quotes about the group I can display.  I am also negotiating the possibility of selling copies of the book the first group published - Word Magic - with any money raised being shared with the library.  This I will have to confirm with the library first.  I will also be giving out sheets with the session dates on right up to Christmas this year.

So I think that is about it for now.  I can always come back if I need to and post another update. See you all on the 6th then.  Enjoy the rest of the summer!  It'll be Christmas before we know it!

Quick Reminder

To all those Young Writers who have not jetted off to sunnier climes, don't forget there will be a session at the library tomorrow morning (9th August) between 9.30 & 10.30.  Don't forget to bring along your summer diaries - or any other writing you have done.  Looking forward to seeing you.
