       Programme for Block 1: Last 15 Weeks of 2022
       By: Andy Date: September 20, 2022, 10:57 am
       ---------------------------------------------------------
       BLOCK 1 (until the Christmas/New Year Break):
       This version was updated/revised: 21st September, 2022)
       As agreed, our weekly meetings will be divided into 3
       'sessions.' Session 1 will be 15 minutes for any business, news,
       introductions (new members and/or visitors). Session 2 will last
       an hour and will be reading and feedback/comment sessions. The
       activities listed below are our timetable for Session 3 (8:15pm
       - 9:00pm) - various writing related activities. The programme
       below also lists our once-a-month 'workshop' activities.
       All sessions listed below will be held during the last
       forty-five minutes of our Tuesday meetings, with the exception
       that, usually, on the first meeting of every month the whole
       two-hour meeting will be given over to a writing workshop aimed
       at improving members skills and/or knowledge of the craft. The
       timing may vary and this may not be the first week of the month
       if it is necessary to accommodate the writer who is delivering
       the workshop.
       If there is something you would like to have included in the
       programme, you have two options:
       •
       the next block (this is being planned during the next few weeks)
       •
       Question’ sessions. Anything brought up at one of these
       sessions will be added to the forthcoming main programme as a
       specific topic and have more time dedicated to it, if those at
       the ‘Quick Session’ think it warrants more time.

       4th October Monthly Workshop
       Fiction (both long and short fiction) The subject for this
       particular session is “Story,” what it is and how
       vitally important it is to understand ‘story’ from a
       writer’s perspective (which is quite different from that
       of a reader). Failure to understand ‘story’ is cited
       by many editors and agents as the main reason for failure by
       ‘apprentice writers’.
