Spring has sprung! Before we know it, the clocks will go forward, the central heating will be turned off, there’ll be a heatwave and a hosepipe ban. Have your New Year writing resolutions survived?

Whether 2024 is going super good, super bad, or anywhere in between, writing is always better with friends, coffee, and cake. So join us once a month in the cafe at the Winchester Arc (also known as the library) for writerly chat and mutual encouragement — all writers welcome.

These informal meetings aren’t hosted or organised in any way, but Catherine will attempt to attend and bring a (hopefully) easily visible 30cm artist’s mannequin (see image below) to help you find the group.
