MEETING REPORT
REPORT OF THE MEETING HELD 15th SEPTEMBER 2009
APOLOGIES: Dick (Holiday), Barry (holiday), Jane (family visit), Jack (family visit), Ruth (baby sitting), Les (knee op), Ros (Spanish student), Caroline F (work commitments), Trish (accident).
ATTENDING: Peter, Angela L, Rani, Liliane, Sandy, Rosie, Debbie, Tony and Dave (chair).
WELCOME back to Rosie who has been absent for a number of meetings through school work and holidays. She will be missing from our next meeting as she will be celebrating her 18th birthday so, happy birthday in advance!
MATTERS ARISING and NEWS:
A very small turnout this evening for what is one of the most enjoyable parts of our programme. The Bill Budner Trophy. This anonymous competition lost nothing in the high standard of work and the efforts of those present to lift the trophy – or in one case to retain it!
Details of the competition follow a few paragraphs below....
In view of the attendances which have slipped a bit in recent times, questions might be raised about the possibility our meeting format may need refreshing, perhaps the entire Scribblers programme should be revamped as well. There are some writers who would fight against change whilst others may have fresh ideas. Here is an opportunity for you to make any suggestions to improve our meetings so please let Dave know as soon as possible.
Once the saga of the Murder Mystery is completed, then the time will be right for a committee to discuss the coming months. Our AGM is held on the first meeting in January and whilst Dave would wish to continue as Secretary it is known that he wishes to step aside once he has completed his full ten years in office in May. Now is time for the Scribblers to select his replacement.
A bit of a setback for Dick whose holiday was booked as per brochure but, in fact an error in the print, his Canadian holiday was delayed for ten days. Consequently many of his commitments had to be hastily re-arranged. The main thing is he is on holiday now and out to prove that the Mounties don’t always get their man!
Dick reminded us that the 2009 Annual Jack Wilkinson Memorial walk takes place this Sunday 20th September, in aid of Cancer Research. Details and sponsorship forms can be obtained from Wendy Crampton on 01394-275751.
Another event taking place this weekend is on Saturday 19th September when Tony is hosting another ‘Evening of Musical Mayhem’ starting ‘when it begins’ and finishing ‘when it ends’. Worth going along in proper terms at approx 19.30hrs.
Details of the Anthology must wait until Barry returns from holiday whilst two dates have been suggested for the Murder Mystery at Colneis School. These are 30th January 2010 and 6th February 2010. We await confirmation of the date and also confirmation that Rushmere Players will be using our script as per the original arrangements.
Providing everything goes according to plan, our friend and fellow author Chris will be in the country from his Australian home to celebrate his mother’s 100th birthday in Felixstowe. Sadly his stay does not coincide with a Scribblers meeting but along with his wife Rebecca he has arranged to meet Dave and Ann for a meal on Sunday 20th. We all wish Chris and Rebecca well and of course send every good wish as his mother reaches her century. It is only two years ago since his father also reached that fantastic milestone. Must be the good Felixstowe sea air.....

WIPST is a new competition looking for raw talent, and the winning writer will see a pilot of their script on screen.

Vibe Tv.Tv Ltd is an industry partner looking for great stories in any of the following genres:
Adventure, Comedy, Crime, Drama, Family, Horror, Romantic Comedy, Thriller/Suspense, Documentary, Fantasy, Ghost and Open genres.
Our Mission is to create an opportunity for screenwriters to have a 10 min pilot of their work made available for distribution, e.g. to film festivals or Production/TV/Film companies to promote their work and to generate funding for the full project.
The closing date is November 30th 2009, and the overall winner will be announced on January 18, 2010. A pilot (10 minutes) will be commissioned to promote the screenplay which will be filmed in March/April 2010 at an appropriate location for the screenplay.
