We have been working on creating credible characters by the way we describe them, what they say and how they behave. We do activities during the session to help us to continue our writing at home. We discuss our work and give each other constructive feedback, which will hopefully lead to improvements. Some of our group have written before, others are complete novices.

Taking advantage of the great weather, during our open air meeting these Gatecrashers dropped by.

We aim to make our sessions fun and have a slot to discuss; books, films, theatre productions and television programmes.

We are not always that serious. If you want to unleash the writer in you do come along and join us.

Images abovephotographs show group members deep in thought working on their characters experiencing a particular emotion. They are deciding how they could best demonstrate this in a convincing way.
