Membership Details

New members are always welcome. Fees are paid annually from when you first pay your membership to that time the following year.

You will receive 4 issues of the club magazine 'Scribe', which includes reports of recent speaker meetings, literary events, members' news and successes; prose and poetry competitions run within the club, and publication of winning entries.

Entry to monthly, quarterly and some annual competitions require one 1^st Class postage stamp per entry, unless competition details state otherwise and members will receive a short critique of their entry for guidance; the judge's decision is final and discussions cannot be entered into.

Free entry to all speaker and manuscript meetings (unless notified of a special event, where tickets will be sold to members at a reduced rate).

Information on external competitions and events when available.

Social events are held twice a year: the first Wednesday in August (when only one meeting is held), and the first Wednesday in December where trophies and/or book tokens are presented to winning competition entrants.

Not all writers will find a large group suits them, so we always suggest you try out a few of our meetings as a visitor before joining. We charge just £1.50 for this.

Attendance at meetings is not obligatory (though we hope you will want to keep coming back) and realise that members have a lot of demands upon their free time. So if you find you can't attend, or only get to a few meetings, you will be pleased to know you can still enter competitions by post, and receive feedback on work at Manuscript evenings.
