Back

Hi All

It's good to be back but it might take some time to get back into the driving seat.
There have been rocky times and probably more to come but it's all a learning experience.

Apologies to anyone who entered the Myths and Legends Competition and did not receive a reply to emails or acknowledgements to entries etc. Although this was suggested when the rules and conditions were released, if I could respond to the individual I did so. But the majority of time that the competition was open, I was in the Caribbean and the emails/hard copies were in the Lit and Phil. WE had over 150 entries, so it was impossible really to give that individual feedback.

Anyway, those who won or were commended were informed and those that could attended the reading. Those present expressed their pleasure in the evening and offered their thanks for gaining pointers and tips about future competition entries, as I introduced each winner and the reasons why their entries won.

The overall winner for the prose category was Saira Dunnakey.
The overall winner for the poetry category was Erin Bidlake.

Commended writers included:

Catherine Graham
Carolyn Jess-Cooke.
Pippa Little
Stephanie Rickaby
Fiona Richie Walker
Elizabeth Whyman

I hope to showcase some of their work here very soon.
