Our Next Meeting

Thursday 14 July at 7:30pm

An Open Mic Evening

The meeting will be an open mic evening. Pieces brought along by members and guests alike. These should be 5 minutes in length as a maximum. A feedback option will be available for those audience members who wish to do so.

This is an opportunity to share your work (or an extract thereof) and hopefully, should you wish, get some constructive feedback from your fellow writers.
