  • Online Writing Group – 25th August – Trees

    Online Writing Group – 25th August – Trees

    6.30pm to 8.00pm (BST) – Online (Zoom)

    For our Rochdale Writes online writing group on Tuesday 25th August the theme will be ‘Trees’.

    There will be inspiration from poetry and images and plenty of chance top discuss and write, and to share your work for those who would like to.

    The group is proving to benefit people who for whatever reason are not able to attend the physical venues for in-person groups. Although based in Rochdale (UK) the group has attracted participants from further afield and all aged 18+ are welcome to join us. You do not need to be a seasoned writer and everyone from complete beginners to professional writers is welcome.

    The session is free and you can join using the link below to enter the waiting room from where the facilitator can admit you to the meeting. There is no need to have your camera or microphone switched on and there is a chat window available.

    PLEASE CLICK THIS LINK TO JOIN MEETING

    The group has few rules which are basically – please do not be offensive or racist or other such behaviour – otherwise please enjoy the chance to write and share with other writers.

  • Poetry Café – CANCELLED

    Poetry Café – CANCELLED

    Following our earlier post and emails, we have received a message from the café that the Poetry Café for 9th July has had to be cancelled at short notice due to staffing issues.

    Poetry Café takes a Summer break in August so there will be no session in that month.

    I will send out information about future events once finalised.

    Please accept our apologies for the late notice, and please share this information with anyone you know who might be likely to attend.
