Join us for our first monthly meeting of the year. It is earlier than usual owing to the following week being the launch of Write On! as part of our For the Love of Writing festival which as you know is a ticketed event.
Traditionally this first monthly meeting of the year has been a chance for members to catch up and tell us about their writing projects with some brief readings, and this year is no exception but we will start with a talk from one of our newer members, Dr Robyn Floyd.
Robyn will be telling us about the research for her book Great, Great, Great Aunt Matilda, written initially for her ten-year-old granddaughter, about her great, great, great aunt.
When she was undertaking family research (as many of do) she found documentation “Matilda, 10, nurs’maid.’ Her granddaughter was ten years old at the time and this sparked an idea!
Following Robyn’s talk and questions, we will open up the session to the audience with a focus on family research projects.
