Riverside Writers
Interests
General
Riverside Writers are an enthusiastic and informal group who live and work on the Wirral Peninsula in Cheshire, England. We hold workshops, set monthly group writing projects and offer constructive guidance...
The group was formed in 1998, and its members include published authors plus absolute beginners, people who are developing writing careers and people who write purely for fun. Non-fiction writers, poets and fiction writers of all genres are equally welcomed.
Riverside Writers meet at 7.30pm-9.30pm at West Kirby Library in The Concourse, Wirral, Cheshire, England - usually on the last Monday of each month, unless this is a Bank Holiday (when the library is closed) in which case we then meet one week earlier.
A regular train service runs from West Kirby train station, which is next to The Concourse. A generously-sized car park is behind The Concourse, plus there is a frequent bus service outside.
New members and visitors are always welcome.
Meeting dates for 2012:-
January 30th - FREE workshop with Elizabeth Gates, on the subject of overcoming writers block.

STATE TO STATE

From Sydney Town,
In uni. break,
I drove out west
To earnings make
Onion picking,
On the fields
Of Echuca,
That year’s yields.
After day’s work,
From Y.H.A.,
A group of us
Would not delay
To walk on down
To the dirt rim
Of the Murray,
For a cool swim.
On one such day,
I do declare,
Some three of us
Had a big dare
To swim across,
From state to state,
The wide Murray -
I took the bait.
Yes, foolishly,
I took the bait -
A choice that I
Would come to hate,
For I almost
Did drown that date,
Making the swim
From state to state.
