On 1st June
members met to read out their entries for our third competition of
the year: journalistic writing. Seventeen aspiring reporters had
risen to the challenge of writing
an article or opinion piece, including current affairs or topics
of ongoing interest, as well
as items that might appear in the middle of a newspaper. Everyone
marvelled at the astonishing range of styles and subject matter. We
found out about youth schemes, the transgender issue and how to
prepare a teenager for A levels. We heard heartfelt rants about
parking, racism and inequality for the poor and disabled. We
travelled along Grey Owl's trail, explored the secret prehistory of
the Bexhill bypass and rattled around in an ossuary. We listened to reviews
of a festival, a book and a restaurant and found out about people's
claims to fame. All in all, it was a fascinating and informative
evening, and we look forward to our judge, Kathryn Flett's, feedback.
