SToW meeting
Yesterday's Stoke-on-Writing meeting was fun ... and very useful. The formal part was covered promptly, which allowed us ample time for reading one's own work -- and receiving comments. Nick Corder turned up, and his insights were astute and constructive (they were for me!).
The next meeting is scheduled for Saturday 13 June at 10.00 a.m. at the Bentilee Neighbourhood Centre. If you've not been to this venue, it's on Dawlish Road (post code ST2 0EU.
