Each month we get 30-40 people depending on the topic (and Worthing weather!). Why not come along and try us - you don't have to join at first meeting. And the meetings are very informal and friendly - honest! Dec meeting is a book quiz so a social evening, but could be a chance to meet other members. Jan is a really interesting talk on crime writing and research. Let me know if you want to come along and I'll look out for you. New writers are always welcomed and committee members will make an effort to come talk to you and ensure you are ok. Also we run good competitions and have a book stall each month, plus raffle and FREE refreshments.

I always read aloud my work, but often find the brain reads the word it thinks it should see and NOT the word that you've actually typed.
