I’ve been a member of the RNA New Writer’s scheme a few
times now and have found the critique service invaluable. I’ve always wanted to attend one of the many
events which are held throughout the year but so far the dates have always
clashed with other commitments.
However, this year I seized the opportunity of attending an
afternoon tea party in York on 30 September. I love afternoon tea, to be
greeted with a glass of prosecco won’t be a hardship, and am especially looking
forward to hearing the guest speaker, Milly Johnson.
I booked this ages ago yet I can hardly believe that next
Saturday I will be getting on the train to attend the event. I could drive
myself by car and it would be a much shorter journey, but to be honest I don’t
want to pass up the opportunity of reading and writing time on the train. After the stresses and strains of the last
few months it will be really nice to have some me time and most importantly to
be surrounded by fellow writers.
Of course I won’t know any one there but I’ve heard that RNA
members are a friendly bunch, so if you see a women looking a bit lost, please
do come and say hello.
I hope you had a long very time. The photos of the event looked great and the food made my mouth water.
ReplyDeleteThat should have read 'lovely time'!
DeleteHope you enjoyed it.
ReplyDeleteThank you both, I did have a lovely time. It was a bit scary at first because I didn't know anyone but everyone made me feel so welcome. I'd heard the the RNA were a lovely bunch and the rumours were definitely true!
