Our aim is to promote the craft of writing for pleasure and profit. To do that, we run a varied programme. At some meetings, we have visiting speakers who talk on some aspect of writing, run a workshop and/or adjudicate our competitions. On club nights, members may read out their work, for friendly and constructive comment. Anyone wanting more detailed comments may provide printed copies.
We meet from 7.30pm – 10pm on the first and third Wednesdays each month at the Rosely Country House Hotel by Arbroath.
