Was at the Falkirk Tryst today and very pleased to meet Eleanor and Grace who will be returning home as I type with an impressive haul of prizes!

All the best, and thanks again for your company today, ladies. Hope to make it up to one of your meetings some time.

The Angus Writers Circle certainly read like an interesting bunch (who’d have thought it in Arbroath?).
I’m chuffed to bits that there’s a writers club nearby-ish as I’d love to be a writer when I finally emerge from school, but need some stimuli as living in a village with nought but my socially challenged parents for company and no car to escape in means I haven’t got much to get my brain going.
I look forward to meeting you all though I fear that won’t be till November.

[Jules replies] Where are you living? Perhaps we can arrange to have you picked-up. There is at least one other member who lives some way away, and doesn’t drive, and is taxied by other members.

Was interested to discover the AWC this very evening, then disappointed to see that I’d missed the special event during the Brechin Arts Festival (I live in Brechin and only found out about the festival last week…no, I don’t get out much.)

Entertaining website too. I pity the 3-legged dog. I’d also be very inclined to turn up for meetings, except that my back shifts at work (which also contribute to my not getting out much) would make regular attendance rather awkward.

Still, I’ll be watching this space…

[Joan replies] If you cannot get to meetings on a regular basis perhaps you would like to consider being an associate member? This would mean you paying around half the membership fee and would allow you access to our programme and any special news we have plus allowing you to enter our competitions (around 6-7 per year). See http://anguswriterscircle.wordpress.com/membership/ Alternatively we would be pleased to see you as a guest at the circle whenever you are free to come.

Dear potential members/fellow writers,
You must be either thoroughly bemused, amused or confused after reading any of the above. I am not as stick in the mud as my last entry may have seemed and all of us are as zany / sane ?/ entertaining / imaginative (or use any other adjective you wish to describe us) as you will find if you are brave enough to venture into our domain at the Viewfield Hotel Arbroath on the first and third Wednesday of any month throughout the year. Our Vice president (notice the capital V in Vice) Jules, hopes to have our programme on the website fairly soon so watch this space. Also look out for our new venue which we will be moving into around September as the Viewfield Hotel is to be closing. The good news is we will still be in Arbroath.
By the way I love Wilma T Gutbucket’s entry and she is just as amusing in person and in her poetry and prose. Keep the entries coming in folks (both members and non-members).

In 1894 it was reported in the Scotsman that a gang of coos rampaged over Arbroath to anihalate a great big chunk o’ the countryside.

As a researcher into bothy baddies I came across the above snippet by accident. My true mission was trying to find out where a group of mad pen wielders were hidden. Rumours abounded that these sly spys were instructing coos to share their tails; sorry tales through the quill. Unable however to grasp the ink and pen at the same time they broke out of their comfortable barn and were seem no more.
I believe they eventually mastered the craft, re-emerged from bracken to meet monthly in a Hotel in Arbroath. My mission, should I accept it, will be to face these intrepid animals along with those daring pen wielders on the 20th august, 7.30pm and see if they have indeed mastered the art and reached literary genius; or is it all dung?
this message will self desruct in two seconds;
see ya

Hi there all you fellow nutters,

I was horrified to read the opening paragraph on this site. I can assure you that the dog had as many legs as any other three legged dog. I know this because I am a founder member and have been in the club since 1894,(that’s the writing club not the pudding club) and have almost, very nearly been published in hundreds of magazines, brochures and chip wrappings. I hope the club continues to go from strength to strength and that all the gutbuckets and moo moos are as successful as what I have been.
PS Even after all those years I STILL don’t know where apostrophes go.
