The Livinia Hammond Cup
Each month we write a 'prep' of approximately 600 words on a set topic which we then read aloud to the group. After each reading other members can comment on the piece and make suggestions if they wish.
We also have a number of internal competitions each year including the Livinia Hammond Cup, the Anthony Collinson Award for Humorous Writing and Patsy's short, short story competition. We also share ideas and news of external competitions and activities
