Christmas is a’coming and it’s time for writing groups to set aside time for a good meal and to entertain themselves with seasonal pieces. In such a spirit Bow Wharf Writers from Langport met up for lunch at the King Alfred Inn, Burrowbridge and an excellent meal it was. I say from Langport, the group meets in Langport, but members come from close by and far afield.

Nine people sat down for lunch and to be entertained, there were poems a plenty, short stories on Christmas themes, including a winter ghost story and a two handed short play through all of which the hard working Inn staff kept the main courses, puddings and coffees coming.

A great menu of food and writing – maybe even a few resolutions to make next year the one to write that breakthrough piece. So here’s a toast to 2016 and The Bow Wharf Writers.
