There’s just a hint of Spring in the air now, so it seems a good time to announce a date for the Writers’ Spring Rendezvous.
Meeting on the evening of Thursday 8th March, from 7.30pm, at the Two Brewers pub in Rochester High Street. As those who’ve been before will know, it’s an informal gathering for chatting and networking. But feel free to bring along some of your writing if you want to (it is far from compulsory though!) and any like minded friends or family.
There should be a lot to talk about, with some exciting new opportunities for Medway’s writers over the course of this year.
See you there!

Hi! I am a member of the RNA New Writers’ Scheme living abroad and will be visiting family in Kent, on and off, from 12th May til possibly 3rd June this summer. I just wondered if there are any workshops or anything else of interest which I might attend while I am over.
Best wishes April Hardy
Hi April, Are you around for the RNA summer party on 17th May? In London, admittedly, but well worth attending as you get to meet a lot of other (mainly romantic) novelists …
Hi Gigi -yes I’m going to the RNA party -really looking forward to it. My friend Liz Fenwick is up for the Joan Hessayon Award so I’m very excited for her! Are you going to be there?

Hi Michael -Thanks, looks interesting – I’ll look into that closer to the date.
Hi April, I’ll keep an eye out for you, I can’t think of anything off the top of my head at the moment but will let you know as soon as I do 🙂
Also, there’s a Zine reading at coFWD, 161 High Street, Rochester on 12th May, I shall post the details of that shortly, and also another Writers’ Retreat in the same location, coFWD at 161 High Street Rochester, on 27th May. Likewise, I shall be putting the details on hopefully by this weekend 🙂 Gigi, I’d love more details of the RNA summer party too, could you email me them please? rochesterlitfest@gmail.com thank you x
Hi Jaye -I’ll look out for the details. I might be in Bristol on 27th but if not would be very intersted. Are you a member of the RNA?
Hi Jaye, will email you with details of Summer party. April – yes I will be there. I am a friend of Liz’s too.
excellent, thanks Gigi 🙂
Hi April, I’m not a member no, sadly a novel isn’t on the agenda at the moment, although I’ve a ton of ideas rolling around in my head 🙂 Hope you and Gigi have a great time at the party and if we can see you at the retreat that would be fab; details are on site now 🙂
Hello again Jaye. Just looked at website & am very interested but still don’t know if I’ll be in Kent or Bristol on that day. How quickly will the silent spaces become booked up do you think? (I can only work in silence -too easily distracted!!) Have a great weekend, April
I think you’ll be ok, the silent space only had two in it last time 🙂 I did half and half, went up there after lunch.
