As we are continuing on Zoom for the foreseeable future, the meetings will run from 1.30 until 3-ish and consist of a newsround, homework and manuscripts, a book discussion, a brief write-in and some writing tips from Cathie.
 
There will be time for manuscripts each week and it would be helpful if you could circulate scripts to the group in advance. (See Michele's latest minutes for an up to date email list).
