We caught up with the University of the Third Age, Orange Writers last week, during their creative writing class. The group were excitingly preparing their pieces for their annual, ‘The Moving Finger’ book, which is to be launched on November 21.

U3A’s Rosemary Curry explained, “Its creative writing, so really the stories can be whatever they would like to write about... some are local historical pieces, others are just creative writing. Everyone very much enjoys it. We have worked all year on different pieces and for this book we choose what we consider our best work to compile together.”

Rosemary continued, “We have some great Authors in our group at the moment and they love to see their work in print.. we all do, it’s an exciting time for us.”

The writers group meet once a week, each Thursday in the West room (next to the library) to practise and improve their writing skills.
