Having missed a meeting
during August, it felt distinctly like the start of the new ‘term’ as we met on
Monday 2 September. This time, we presented our entries for the David Buchan
journalism competition. This is annually in memory of one of our most popular
members, the late David Buchan, well-respected Fleet Street journalist. As
ever, there were entries on a wide variety of topics – starting with the
Hastings to Bexhill Link Road, greeted by groans of despair by all present, via
the ‘squeezed middle’ – aged, via cooking, privatizing the Post Office, nuclear
tests in Australia, waiting rooms, complaints to the Bedroom Tax. As ever, our
judge will have a hard time!
We welcomed another three
prospective members of the group – we have been delighted with current levels of
interest in joining the group, particularly from younger
people.
Congratulations to our
Chair, Jill Fricker, who has just won a National Association of Writers’ Groups
short story competition
