Tonight's meeting, July 28
Posted: 28 Jul 2008 by Sarah Newell
We look forward to seeing as many Hog's Back Writers as possible tonight. Terry Cree will be in the chair; we will enjoy the next installments of many, gripping works in progress before repairing to the Good Intent for a cool guest ale or cider.

The new committee you'll no doubt be glad to hear is meeting on a regular basis to work out how we're going to develop HBW and extend its membership in the coming year. We're canvassing people's opinions as we go and if we haven't spoken to any of you individually as yet we almost certainly will be doing over the next few weeks.
At the moment Terry in particular is labouring a little more than he should at coming to terms with the website and how it operates but he feels he's getting there and that something like normal service should be restored in the near future.
You will be glad to hear that we are now officially members of The National Association of Writers' Groups. We get for our money coverage on their website and publicity materials and acces to festivals, competitions and workshops they organise. More about this at our next meeting.
At our last meeting on 9th June there were readings from Bob, Ian, Madeleine and Terry.
Bob gave us a section of his memoir that dealt with an early and disturbing encounter that occurred shortly after his arrival in London. Ian read a further chapter from his children's book addressing the problems of the bearded Miss Petunia. Madeleine had written a short story that adopted the viewpoint of a male narrator and that, most people were agreed, had enough substance to become something more developed. Terry read the latest chapter of his novel.
As usual, the meeting at The Good Intent after the event went swimmingly too.
