Professor Joy Carter CBE DL, Vice-chancellor, University of Winchester and Honorary Patron, Hampshire Writers’ Society:
It is with deep sadness to learn that Barbara Large has passed away. Barbara has been a hugely important and loved part of the University community for decades, most notably for creating and running the Writers’ Festival for over three decades, as well as founding the Hampshire Writers’ Society. Her life was full of passion and energy; all who encountered her were struck by what a remarkable woman she was. Our thoughts and prayers go out to her family at this sad time.
The Hampshire Writers’ Society welcomes all aspiring and published writers wherever they live.
The Society is now celebrating its ninth season of talks, readings, panels and performances by well known novelists, authors, playwrights, scriptwriters, literary agents, editors and industry specialists.
