Creative Writing
This is a well-established, relaxed class that always like to encourage new members to join us. Meetings are held on Monday mornings at the Harrow Arts Centre. You can choose any medium you like - the way you express yourself is up to you: personal reminiscences, articles, poetry, short stories, arts reviews... It doesn't matter what it is, just get writing. Feel free to write as much or as little as you want. Even if you've never tried it before, you'll find the more you write, the easier it gets and the better you'll become. You'll find it enjoyable and inspiring. Currently classes are held alternately at HAC and on Zoom. Group Leader - Dinah Monnickendam Literary Discussion Group 1 This group meets fortnightly on Wednesday mornings from 10.30 to 12 at a member's home. We choose books following a theme chosen by consensus - historical, genre, gender, geography etc . Members take turns to present a book, if willing, with much support from the others. Each book usually covers two sessions. We have no leader but are a self supporting group. Come and try us. Group Leader - Anne Gerrard Literary Discussion 2 We are a small group which currently meets fortnightly on Zoom. We read classic novels for enjoyment, and we analyse them and find parallels in our lives today. In recent years we have studied Jane Eyre, A Christmas Carol and The Age of Innocence by Edith Wharton. We are currently reading Emma by Jane Austen. New members are very welcome. Group Leaders: Jean Kenton & Alison Tanna Middlebrow Book Club 1 Meets once a month in Pinner on a Thursday afternoon. Group Leader - Judy Peters Playreading Group Meets once a month at the Harrow Arts Centre on a Thursday afternoon. The playreading group enjoys a new script each month, purely for entertainment, it is not a literature lesson. No preparation needed, just sight reading with every person playing a different character. Plays vary from whodunnits and thrillers to farces Group Leader - Vivienne Gould Virgil, Aeneid Reading Group This is a new group for those interested in reading The Aeneid in translation, the epic poem written by the Roman poet Virgil. The group will meet fortnightly on Friday mornings at 10am in the leader's home in Pinner. Group Leader - Christine Elliott |
