September 4th, 2017 : Planning Meeting and writing exercise

September 4^th, 2017 

 

This week we held the planning meeting to set the programme for 2018. Members reflected on the success of the 2017 programme and shared their individual views on the competitions that they had enjoyed the most, and those they had found more challenging. Those present cast their votes from the ideas suggested for each competition category and for the theme of the annual anthology. Members who were not at the meeting have the opportunity to vote via email. With the formalities completed, we took part in the ever popular ‘props’ writing game. Using the scenario of three characters trapped in a lift, we each created tales that took comical, unusual and sometimes disturbing turns as we wove in the ‘unusual’ objects brought in by our deputy chair, Kate.
