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!
