Thank you all who put their names down to join the Patchwork Quilt Workshop, they are running from 4th March, weekly on Wednesdays and Thursdays until June - currently the workshops are fully booked.

The lovely Tanya from Panoptic Foundations will be joining us this month for a free online workshop all about how to sell books without burning out or chasing the algorithm — or, as she calls it, the “3-part anti-marketing system for fiction authors.” Whether you're published, looking to publish, or simply curious about how these things work, Tanya is sure to have some great ideas to share, and we hope you can make it.

Come along to our monthly Creative group on Zoom! 

The idea is that each month we will be given a prompt - it could be a word, a phrase, a picture...and we have a month to create something inspired by it - whether a poem, a story or a piece of artwork. The choice is yours. We then meet again on Zoom at 4pm the first Sunday of each month, to share and chat and at the end of each meeting a new prompt is given.

The Zoom link will be shared in the WhatsApp and Facebook groups nearer the time. 

These online events are open to members only and free.

A new monthly endeavour run by the wonderful poet and valued Dragon, Kate Rose, along with the poetry@gouzon group.

As the weather improves, lets make the most of the beauty of an outdoor experience on a monthly basis. We have created a fun way to come together and explore some of our beautiful french landscapes and villages, to enthuse and entice our creative juices in a friendly social setting. After our coffee we will walk across the bridge, spanning the River Bouzanne, to the world UNESCO site of The Basilica.Taking photos as we stroll, we will walk to the edge of the lake, and along the path to the back of the car park, with more photo opportunities beside the weir and down the steps to the river. We will then move our cars to our picnic spot at the other end of the lake near to the plan d’eau restaurant - easier access for us to carry our folding chairs, picnic rugs, and paint, paper, writing equipment etc… We will have a lovely view of the skyline across the lake, including the circular roof of the oldest part of the Basilica. There are often ducks, geese and herons on the lake, with the odd fisherman dotted here and there.
