John or Tess will then get back to you to discuss what we get up.
We usually choose a writing prompt from a pre-prepared list. One of our recent prompts was : a chance remark.
This resulted in writings ranging from a childhood memory of confused words to an adopted child’s story. We also heard of goings-on at the Hotel Mongolia, followed by an incident on Hadrian’s Wall. There were also a couple of humorous poems and we finished with advice on whether a horse is better than a motor-bike if you want to relive a misspent youth.

At the u3a monthly meeting on 28 October, at Springdale Church Hall, the Creative Writing Group read out a selection of their writings. I personally thought it was an excellent session, and we seemed to get a positive reaction from the wider audience too. So well done to Tess, Sandra, Sue and Alan for sharing your poems. I hope we will be invited back!
Here are are transcripts of the poems which out intrepid quartet read out :
