AssociationFinder

We aim to provide an encouraging and supportive environment where members can learn from each other and improve their writing skills in an enjoyable and social setting. We offer a forum for the exchange of ideas and information, while making time for friendships with fun, humour and social events.

We are a small group of enthusiastic writers and we welcome people who share our passion for creative writing to join us to share your efforts and ideas, improve your technique, or just to enjoy the readings of the other members’ work in a creative atmosphere.

We invite you to be our guest and come along to the next meeting. There, you will learn about the Circle and share in our news and plans. If you enjoy yourself, you could become a member. Aspiring writers and interested parties, at any level of experience and skill, are welcome.
