Not everyone was able to make the first face-t0-face (or rather mask-to-mask) meeting at our new venue, but we managed to do a lot of catching up on everyone’s news and to welcome our newest members, Miranda Hargrave and Solvig Choi. It is Solvig, almost in the photo above, that we have to thank for recording this unique moment in RWG’s long history.
Audrey Blackburn was presented by our Chairman, Maggie Cobbett, with her honorary life membership and a similar certificate is on its way to Kathleen Atkinson who will, we hope, be able to join us at a later date.
Members who won trophies during lockdown were finally presented with them. These were:
Lindsay Trenholme for the President’s Cup – presented by Maggie in the absence of Peter Hicks.
Peter Page for the Short Story competition – presented by our Competitions Secretary Susan Perkins.
Solvig Choi for the Artistic Licence competition, the very first she had entered since joining RWG.
WELL DONE, ALL OF YOU!
In the time left over, a few members read out pieces they’d written recently and Christine treated us to a performance of her latest song.
