Meetings are held on the first and third Tuesdays of the month at Dancox House Club Room, St Clements Gardens, St Johns, Worcester from 7.30 pm to 9.30pm.

If you want to know more about Worcester Writers' Circle, please telephone Sue Round, Secretary 01905 619062.

Probably the oldest writers' circle in the country, we have grown from half a dozen enthusiasts in the dark days of the Second World War, to a thriving and productive group of people who share their experiences, successes and pitfalls at each meeting. We have a wide range of writers, some published professionals, some occasionally appearing in magazines, and many newcomers eager to see their name in print.

At a normal meeting, we read from our work, sometimes on a theme set for the evening and we offer advice and reactions. A cup of tea and a chat of course, and discussions about markets, successes and rejections. Sometimes we have a speaker from amongst our ranks, or a guestjoining us for the evening. Our interests are wide - stories, Westerns, nostalgia, poetry, biography, roofing and cats have all featured at our meetings. If you can get to Worcester, (that's the one in Worcestershire, England) give us a try.

TIME

by Susan Davidson



If only there were more of it
There's never quite enough
I wish that I could buy it
I'd get tons of the stuff

I'd like to have an extra hour
Just before seven
Before the radio alarm goes off
Or my daughter wakes - what heaven!

And just an extra twenty minutes
Before five past three,
So that I could finish my work
And get to school on time easily

I know where they could take it from
To keep the books straight
They could take the hours of illness
And all the hours I've had to wait

In traffic jams and shopping queues
And train stations galore
In doctors and dentists waiting rooms
Where time is just a bore

So whoever is in charge of time
I hope they hear my plea
I'm only asking for what's mine
Just spread out differently
