members attend your meetings?
On average 8 – 10. Although if all members came is could be

Yes. The menu caters from a filled sandwich or roll to a
full plated lunch.

your meetings?
We start at 12.30. There is no set finishing time.
Can you give
an outline of speakers/guests you’ve had in the past year?

of writing interest is scheduled into the meeting. Eg: middle novel blues, the power of settings.

Great Expectations’ is within easy walking distance of the
railway station, buses and the Queens Road or Oracle car parks. We use the
Library Room at GE which has a setting ideal for writers. The food is good and
reasonably priced. We have a camaraderie that has built over time and will
continue so into the future. Reading Chapter encourages members of the RNA -
NWS to join us. This also includes non-members interested in writing romantic
novels. We are a group of individuals who have become friends.
