Fiction Writers activities and events

AGM (Annual General Meeting)

This will be held on the 24th March 1999 in room 703 of the Menzies Building. It is the most important meeting of the entire year where we need as many people to come along as possible. The current committee will be dissolved and a new committee elected. People interested in becoming committee members must be club members and should nominate for the post by the 17th March 1999, or attend the meeting in person. We welcome anyone to run for the committee.

Wednesday meetings

These meetings allow us to communicate the latest events to our members. Types of meetings range from writing exercises, to talks about aspects of writing, to talks given by published writers. Unless otherwised advised, these are held at 1:00 to 2:00pm on Wednesdays in Room 703 of the Menzies Building (also known as the Ming Wing).

Writer's circle

This used to be a regular meeting on Thursdays at 5:30pm in the conference room of the Union building. There are presently no writer circle's meetings, but they will be starting after the Easter break.

Magazine editorial meetings

If you want to help in the production of the magazine, then come along. It isn't just the editor who needs to do work! Tasks to be done include selecting work to be included, laying out, typing up and printing. You could also submit material for the magazine.

Social functions

A great pizza night was had by all on Wednesday 3rd March. There is a pool night happening on the 22nd April. Be there or be square.

Workshops

In the past, there used to be irregular workshops where you could bring partially completed fiction along and work on it in the company of fellow writers. These will be starting again in April.
