A few updates for our writing friends in and around Newark:
Fosseway Poetry Competition
A reminder the competition closes on 6 April, entry details on the website; a discount available for paid-up members. Remember that competitions are a great way to exercise your writing muscle. Give it a go!
Next Social
We meet at LetsXscape Café at 7:30pm on Wednesday 20 March, for readings and progress updates on our projects.
Social Prompt
At the last meet we agreed we’d have a go at one of the 29 prompts on the forum through Feb, and bring our results along to the next social. And of course, you don’t have to read anything out if you don’t want to. You can put material on the forum, which is a safe place & will only be read by members. If you haven’t got a forum login, contact Nick on how to get one.
If you don’t want to use those prompts of course, feel free to bring anything else.
Next Library Workshop
Renovations notwithstanding (or perhaps, withstanding) we should be back in the library for Wednesday 3 April
This will be Martin’s first gig as Events Organiser, and as such, remains… unconfirmed. More details at the next social!
After that we will entertain Anne Holloway on Wednesday 1 May for the results of the Poetry Competition.
Book Project 2025
We are taking a break from publishing a Fosseway book this year, but the planning has started for 2025’s project.
Head to the forum to get involved, or see us at the next social – we need to settle on our theme so you can get writing.
The Fossie
Martin’s pet name for a mini-zine project to publish ongoing bits of prose, poetry and art for the bemusement of locals by Fosseway Writers & friends.
This will be XL Tech quality (which in this case means extra-low) and will come out monthly/quarterly/as and when we can be bothered, cost a pound, sell at the café.
Want to know more? Hate the name? Got ideas? Come to the social or join us on the forum to chip in your 100 words-worth.
Subs
Have you forgotten to pay your subs?! Nick is always on hand to help with reminders…
