Pictorial record of Creative Writing Course’s Booklaunch!
You have often heard me mention U3A, it is a wonderful organization
originally set up to help keep those of us with greying hair from
atrophying in the Grey Matter Department! Funding has meant that
government and regulation, are playing an increasing part changing
it’s roots somewhat!
Being totally Volunteer in nature it is wonderful when I can mention a
unique innovation that took root and flourished. This has occured
in the Creative Writing Group set up-lead by Jean Gillespie (above).
The Group’s works were so positive that they made the decision
to publish “Silver Threads” (left) a collection of original works by the Group Members. The launch of this book was significant enough to draw one of Redcliffe’s really colourful characters, “The Culture Vulture” Richard Lancaster out to officiate at the Ceremony. Richard (right) himself a journalist in his own right (amongst other dubious talents – Raconteur,Sales etc.) has no direct connection with the group other than admiration. He did however live up to his appearance by getting all the authors present to sign the copy of the book presented to him for his services.
Value Adding is something all Pirates understand – wonder where his Parrot is?
