We all have favourite authors but have you ever wondered what got Charles Dickens, Stephen King and dear old Agatha Christie started?  Stories, poems and plays often start orally but there’s something really satisfying about keeping that story alive by writing it down.

We are hoping that budding authors amongst you might just like to get together and begin a writing group of our own .
No one is asking you to write a novel or challenge Shakespeare to a play writing contest; just to come along and have a chat.
There is something quite uplifting about reading your own work, be it a three line Haiku, a saucy limerick or a short story to like minded folk. If this something that appeals to you please let us know so we can arrange that special first meeting.
Use the reply box (no quills needed) to show your interest or put your name and mobile number on the list on the u3a board next week.
