The Club have had four short story competitions this year, and each theme had a good response. They were 1.Diary 2. Weather (poetry) 3. Nursery Rhyme (re-tell as a news item) 4.News Report for November 2058. It was decided that each winner would take all the £1 entry fees. Max Makin, our secretary, kindly donated a book for the first three in each competition. We were grateful that the staff of Llandudno Waterstones agreed to be the judges. It is hoped to continue these competitions in 2009. 

Our first internal competition of 2009 was won by our secretary, Max Makin. It was based on a photo of the remains of a fishing boat, and again judged by the staff at Llandudno Waterstones.

The Club was fortunate to have two authors give a presentation and workshop. Local author, Ann Bennett, who has written 14 sagas, based in Birmingham, fascinated us with how she gets ideas and researches her facts. Geoff Nelder, from Chester, has written two completely different books, one SciFi, and other a humerous thriller. As he is a judge for short story competitions, he set us an excercise in 'judging': very instructive.

Brian Lux, our Chairman, reached the Longlist of the Wales Children's Book of 2009, with his first novel 'Court of Foxes,' published in July 2008, but was beaten to the shortlist of three.

The Excutive meet monthly to discuss idea for interesting and instructive meetings, and welcome feedback from members

After meeting in the Old School in Churchwalks, we have moved to a new venue at the Library in Mostyn Street. We look forwards to meeting new members who are interested in all types of writing.
