The Erskine Writers had their first virtual meeting of the the new session on 15th September 2020. A new experience for all the members. The group embraced the new technological way forward during these difficult times.
Group members read out their entries from Scottish Association of Writers (SAW) competition , general short story competition and open manuscripts.
Joan Frondigoun read out several readings, her winning entry “Young Offenders” and her highly commended “The Mistress”, “Remembrance Day” her winning entry for the Poetry Wall competition of SAW annual 2020 conference and her first place entry for the Short Story Competition “The Visitor”. A selection of emotional poems concluding with a very funny short story.
Kate Gordon read her winning entries for the short story competition "It's Make Your Mind Up Time...we need to talk about organ donation" and "Big Sister"
John Spence read out “Larry The Defiant Little Lamb” his under sevens children’s story.
Rob Williams read out “Lucky Number”
Donnie McGruther also read out an open manuscript centred on a personal event which the group thoroughly enjoyed.
Our next meeting on 22/09/20 will be centred on drama and script presentations with Alan Bisset author and playwright, joining us as the guest speaker.
