There were apologies from Rob, Lorna, Morag, Jeannie and Sandra M who unfortunately broke a finger removing mail from her letterbox. The group send her best wishes. Hilary chaired today's meeting which wad open manuscripts. John H read Ailsa's entry for the children's competition called 'Sally Jane: Sundays are not for Me' which was highly commended. Donnie returned to group after a long spell away due to an injury to his knee and delivered another gem 'Kicking sand in your Eyes' drawn from his insolvency days...MI6 may be watching. Joan read a children's story entitled 'The Mercat' based on a a half cat fish. Brian revisited his one way conversation with John Logie Baird trying to patent his new invention the television. Another brilliant delivery. John H also delivered another oldie 'wrong Number'. John M provided us with the hilarious 'Chef Marco' which he is going to present at SAW Conference...definitely got the thumbs up from the group. Hilary gave us a chapter from her piece "The Strangers Rebuke'. Joyce read the opening chapter of a murder mystery, from the draft of something she started 20 years ago! Brian had a second reading 'And so said the Wind' pulling together a great piece base on songs that had wind in the lyrics. Joan finished with a very touching piece that she read at her late husband Miller's funeral.
Hilary reminded us that the deadline for our final competition 'Article' is next Tuesday 18th of March.
