Who are we?
The Eastern Writers Group is
an association of writers, amateur and professional, that
has only one aim: to encourage writers.
The group was founded in 1938
and has functioned continuously since then, which means that
we are seventy-one years old this year.
Meetings are held once a month
at 2 pm on the third Sunday in every month at the Box Hill
South Neighbourhood House, 47-49 Kitchener Street, Box Hill
South, Victoria 3128. (The starting time used to be 1.30,
but the committee felt that members needed time to finish
their lunches before going to a meeting, so it's now 2 p.m.)
Writers are welcome to attend
meetings and read samples of their works. Non-writers who
are interested in literature are also welcome.
We aim to give community writers
a chance to hear their work discussed and to help one another
by freely expressing their opinions.
Our meetings are informal; there
is a contribution of $4.00 per member per meeting to pay for
hire of the Neighbourhood House. (Only those who actually
attend a meeting are asked to contribute; we have no joining
fee and no annual fee.)
For details phone (03)
9434 3491. (E-mail address: rdalvean@bigpond.com)
