CLASS NOTICES
From Naomi Propper: Writers’ Workshop
on Tuesdays 1.30pm to 3pm ZOOM ONLY. We are a small online group looking for new members as life events have led some of our group dropping out. We meet weekly to share our writing: memoirs, short-stories, poems, novels and creative non-fiction – any kind of writing and any length are welcome. As we are a small and friendly group, everyone gets an opportunity to read their work every week, or just listen if they prefer.
From Marvin Tomkinson

To make you smile
‘A library is a place where you can lose your innocence without losing your virginity.’ Germaine Greer
On a Miami to Chicago flight was a lively youngster who nearly drove everyone crazy. He was running up and down the aisle when the flight attendant started serving coffee. He ran smack into her, knocking a cup of coffee out of her hand and onto the floor. As he stood by watching her clean up the mess, she glanced up at the boy and said, ‘”Look, why don’t you go and play outside?” Eugene Carroll in Readers Digest, September 1955
Good wishes from Richard, Maureen, Gilli and Amalia
