It was Results Night again for the group on Monday 28 0ctober, when
we met to hear the results of the David Buchan journalism competition.
Our judge was former member and professional journalist Angela Everitt. Angela gave us some valuable hints and tips about how to make an article appealing and readable, and then announced the results.
In fourth place was Rosemary Bartholomew, with 'Sorry For Any Inconvenience', an entertaining, and so true, piece about the frustrations of dealing with utility companies. Third was Stephanie Gaunt with the topical 'Hastings to Bexhill Link Road', In second place was Marcia Woolf, with 'The Squeezed Middle Ages', an unusual piece about the plight of middle-aged people, trapped between the demands of elderly parents and their still-dependent adult children. The winner was Jill Fricker, with a passionate piece about a very topical issue: 'The Bedroom Tax'.
