Dinner and Awards 2014

A good time was had by all at our annual dinner and awards on Tuesday at the Equestrian Centre, Ingleston. The afternoon began with an enjoyable meeting when Myra Duffy gave her adjudication of the recent Flash Fiction Competition. Myra's comments on each story were very helpful to all and the winning entries were well received, as were the readings of the remaining entries. Excuse the strange lighting in one half of this room!

The awards were followed by a lovely dinner where we had the chance to chat while eating and drinking. It is a very enjoyable social event on the writing group calendar and an excellent way to recognise the hard work that has gone into the weekly sessions, from the committee to the members.

Roll on next year!
