BWC: Changes in March/April/May

Hello Bristol writers!

As some of you know, starting next week, I am taking time out for a theatre tour over March/April/May. Tom is also taking time out to focus on his escape rooms in April. This means that afternoons and evenings will be in want of hosts (mornings and reading group aren’t affected.)

After chatting to folks, it seems like no one can plan to do the whole thing in advance, but quite a few people could do it more ad hoc. So! I am introducing! The BWC hosting spreadsheet!

Please sign up here if you can host a session :)
Oooh who will sign up for next week and be the Very First oooooh

Hosting is uncomplicated. It just means being there, and saying a welcoming-hello to any newcomers. You will earn a million writer points and Great Gratitude. The main advantage is that it means we can confidently advertise the session to new folks, which in turn keeps our numbers healthy in the long run. So it is truly appreciated!

I'll send out each week's schedule on Sunday, so please stick your name down by the Saturday. I won't publicly list any sessions that don't have a host (ie, I won't put them in this newsletter and on MeetUp).

Any qs, drop me a line! I really hope this will keep our writerly sessions alive and well over the spring. And as always (sing along if you know it): regulars, feel free to find each other on the whatsapp group. (If you’ve come along to sessions, and you’re not on the whatsapp group, and you’d like to be: send me your number!)

That’s it, folks. Heartfelt thanks for continuing to make BWC such a many-splendoured thing, in which you (yes YOU) are the splendours. Truly!
