As you may know, East Dulwich Writers' Group has now produced two anthologies, Hoovering the Roof 1 and 2. Last year, HtR 1 was named as runner up in the National Association of Writers' Groups' anthology award.


At the NAWG Festival this weekend, it was announced that HtR 2 has won the award for 2011. This is fantastic news, both for the group as a whole and for the individual writers whose work was included in the anthology. It's taken an enormous amount of dedication, creativity and sheer hard work to produce such excellent books and this is great affirmation for us all.


Many thanks to those stalwarts (you know who you are) who worked so hard in producing, distributing and publicising the anthology, as well as organising and attending events. The books are available in most local bookshops as well as on Amazon. To buy a copy at a discount, please go to the EDWG site: http://sites.google.com/site/eastdulwichwritersgroup/shop


We've decided to take a break from HtR this year and will hopefully work towards another volume in 2012. Meanwhile, cunning plans are afoot to organise a flash fiction competition, which will be open to all writers. Watch this space.

      Dell Autos is closing tomorrow

      By Sue · Posted

      Closing down completely. The lovely people there are all retiring. Thanks, but Deptford is a long way to go to make two journeys to  take and collect a car! Do they not do even relatively minor repairs if it fails its MOT first time? Then that would require four journeys 😭 Wondering if there's already a thread on here for garage recommendations? People on my road WhatsApp group have recommended some local ones. I'm particularly gutted because apart from the lovely people who worked there,  Dell was a five minute walk for me!

      Fireworks

      I did think that might be the reason, but five years out of seven it's going to be a weekday (I think. Not sure how leap years might affect things!)

      Fireworks

      By first mate · Posted

      Probably because the 5th was a weekday. We still have the weekend to come. Also, some fireworks going off nearly every night for the last few months. Last night something was being let off that made a very deep booming noise every 10 seconds or so. That said, if the general public are beginning to see the harm done by firework noise and choosing to use low noise options and refusing to support organised events that still use the full throttle type, I for one would be very happy. Does anyone know if the Herne Hill Velodrome Halloween fireworks event used low noise options?
