OUR NEXT MEETING

Our next Felixstowe Scribblers meeting takes place this coming Tuesday 1st July at 7.30 in the Café Libra in Felixstowe Library.

Lauren and Trish will provide the 1,500 open themed homework whilst, if I recall correctly, the rest of us should write up to 500 words on ‘Memory'. Peter will make his 'debut' chairing the meeting.

Don't forget the Pulse Fringe Festival, details at http://www.pulsefringe.com/home.htm and the Ipswich Arts Festival events that start tomorrow can be found at http://www.ip-art.com/

A little word of warning - an email has been received from "The NTLWORLD Webmail Team" asking for personal webmail account details and passwords to be provided because of security upgrades. For NTL users who receive this email I would suggest it should be deleted from your inbox and from your deleted box also. It appears that similar style emails asking for account names and passwords are being targeted on some Virgin customers as well. So beware!

On a friendlier note the BBC Writersroom newsletter follows at the end of this email.

Have a good weekend and remember,

Keep Scribbling!
