Our next meeting will also be the last one of 2009. For some members the year has produced publication and a promise of the release of two novels, for others they have progressed steadily at their own pace. There have been health scares and concerns, but most of all we have achieved publication of our own anthology. Every contributor has become a published writer! So well done one and all!Our

The Anthology book launch at the Castle Lodge Hotel was a success, nice atmosphere, nice people, and a good Book as well. Thanks must be passed to firstly the Hotel for laying on the event, to Ruth for organising and hosting the evening and to Rachel Sloane for coming along. Ruth informed the group of the death of our oldest member, John Crowson who died at the age of 97 just days before he

It was with regret that we learned of the passing of our oldest member, 97 year old John Crowson just days prior to the launch of the Felixstowe Scribblers Anthology. This was to be a momentous moment for John as he had never been published before.John, from St Albans, was a regular guest at the Castle Lodge Hotel. He had written short stories and poetry over the years but his family never

Our Dick was interviewed by Lesley Dolphin on Radio Suffolk yesterday and, for those who heard him, he did a superlative job. Well done Dick.Next, on what seems to be a very busy period of time, is the much awaited launch of our 2010 anthology which Lesley Dolphin thought was a lovely diverse collection of stories.
