Writers' Groups
Rotherham & District
Many, many years ago I used to belong to a group of writers that met in Rotherham Library. I soon realised that, rather than promoting writing and writers, the group was more about the formation of little, acid cliques and acrimonious wrangling between individuals. Perhaps things are a bit more civilized nowadays. These are the writers' groups that I have found meeting in the Rotherham area in 2005. If you belong to another group please let me have details.
