Group Christmas Meal

Looking forward to the Group Christmas meal on December 6th. The result of the poetry competition will be announced and the prize money presented to the winner. We also have an optional challenge of creating and bringing along a 20 word Xmas story or a Haiku. Should be great fun. No doubt festive frivolities will abound.

Competition progress

Most of us have picked out our first sentences from the hat for our short story entries, but there are still some in the pipeline. Looks like we have already exceeded the number of entries from last year, which is great news. It’s great fun reading all the stories and deciding which one is our favourite. Often not an easy task.
