Dear Writers,


A huge thank you to those writers who braved the weather and made it in on Wednesday, this week's If I Were question, sparked a great discussion. Sarah has been working very hard proof reading the book so we can get it sent to Stuart, please forgive me if this week's email is not up to its usual standard, it's my first week of doing it.

Please note that we cannot confirm dates until we receive the Artswords Newsletter on the 1st  day of each month, so we really appreciate your patience.

Here's your weekly update:

This week's Extra Task:
It was a cold, sunny day in December

Sneaky peek at next Week's Tasks:
If I were: A Greek God/Goddess
Main Task: You get to spend a day on Mount Olympus with the Gods

DATES TO REMEMBER:
If you are looking for something to do this weekend and next weekend with your family, friends or you want to go by yourself, this looks like a really exciting event.

Penni and I have volunteered to do both Sundays, so we hope to see you there.


New Email
Finally, we have moved over to a new email, which Penni, Sarah and Anna can all access, so we can easily share the admin. Please use the email:-
From now on for everything to do with the Group.
