FIRST MONDAY MEETINGS

At our next Monthly meeting on May 5th, Mary Smith will tell us the story of school life during WW2, featuring the recently discovered and exquisite artwork of wartime school art teacher Helen Keen, who set out to document in paint and pencil the lives of school children and their teachers as the war unfolded.

​At our April meeting, author Bobbie Darbyshire fascinated us with the process of writing a novel from first idea through to polishing the manuscript.  She illustrated her story with anecdotes from her own experience of writing five novels (including "Love, Revenge & Buttered Scones") as well as from other well known authors - Lots to think about for our creative writers!
