Where and When
We’re delighted to announce our in-person meetings return this month.
Join us from 2.30-5 pm this Friday 24th September at the Nottingham Mechanics, North Sherwood Street in the city centre.
Details
The September meeting will be a catch-up on what our members have been working on- and any successes since we were last together. We’ll also be renewing memberships and signing up new members.
We still welcome visitors for a small charge: £5
As with many organisations, there’s been a few changes #post pandemic.
- We have reduced the membership fee and combined our previous member categories.
Future
For the remainder of 2021 our meetings will remain on the fourth Friday of the month (even if the month has five Fridays).
Our venue currently has limited opening times, so we are no longer able to meet on an evening or Saturday. We chose a Friday afternoon as it may help those writers who have flexible working hours. Unfortunately, we know this may not suit everyone.
Meanwhile, we are looking for additional venues for potential monthly Saturday afternoons meetings.
Reassurance
We want our members and visitors to feel safe at our meetings. The room we are using, has both space and ventilation. The NWC Committee confirm that anyone wishing to wear a face mask or shield are welcome to do so.
We will be updating the website in the coming months to reflect membership changes. So please contact us?: if you are interested in taking up membership, or have any queries relating to meetings.
You can also check our social media for the latest updates. Either Facebook or Twitter.
