It’s time for our fourth Friday meeting at the Nottingham Mechanics. We meet in the Boardroom on the first floor.
During the first half, 1 pm to 2.30 pm, there’s an opportunity to read your work for constructive feedback, ask questions, and chat to other writers. Alternatively, you can buy lunch and a drink in the Mechanics restaurant between midday and 2 pm.
This month, we’re focusing on punctuation during the second half of the meeting (2.30 pm onward).
September is an ideal time to take up membership, it’s £18 a year. (Please use the contact form for more details).
Don’t forget to bring along something to write with, as we have fun exercises that will get you and your mind, working with words.
Meeting fee: visitors £5, members £3.
Our September second Saturday meeting at The Playwright, and this is the first of our autumn meetings.
The Saturday meetings allows time to chat, write, and if you’ve done the fun homework- read it out, or not.
Arrive at 12.30 to get lunch, a drink, and chat with other early arrivals. Then from 1.30 pm the session ramps up with the results of the writing homework (set the previous month). But we’re flexible, so don’t worry if you can’t arrive until later.
There’s always a writing session, and the opportunity to read work out for constructive comment.
If you’d like to try the homework theme, here it is: a short story (between 400 and 800 words). ‘At least next time I won’t have to dismantle the piano’.
We finish around 4 pm, and you’re welcome to stay longer. Or if you need to leave early, that’s okay too.
Any questions about the meetings, or you’d like to join NWC, please use our contact form.
You can join NWC at The Playwright for our August second Saturday meeting.
This is our only meeting this month.
We’ll be a smaller group than usual, but doing the things you enjoy at busier second Saturdays.
And if you arrive early, you’ll have time to buy lunch and a drink, then chat with other writers before the main session begins.
All writers welcome…
Our new membership year begins in September, so look out for our updates here, and on our Twitter page, or Facebook.
Join us for July second Saturday meeting at The Playwright pub.
All are welcome to our informal and varied afternoon session, where you can meet and chat with friendly, welcoming writers.
The writing challenge for this month is to write a story around 800 words, and combining the themes of the paranormal and artificial intelligence (AI). There’s no compulsion to take part in this aspect, nor read out your story if you do- someone else will be happy to read it out for you.
Arrive early- 12.30 pm- and order your lunch, then spend the hour chatting with others members and visitors.
From 1.30 it’s full ahead with a mix of content suitable for all levels of ability.
Timings are flexible, so arrive and leave at times to fit your circumstances. And we’re close to public transport links- buses, tram, and Nottingham railway station (via the tram from the Royal Centre stop).
Any questions? Then please use our contact form, and we’ll do our best to help.
It’s our June fourth Friday at the Nottingham Mechanics from 1 pm onward.

Visitors are welcome, but meeting fees apply.
Any questions? Then use our contact form, and we’ll respond as soon as we can.
We look forward to welcoming you to the group…
