This might already be in the News Page somewhere but, if it is I missed it and apologise for duplicating it here.

I got word of this through TNW’s email update and it looks like a damned good deal to me – for those of us Oop North…

It’s on Saturday 8th of May and I am definitely going. Anyone care to join me???

Cracking The Short Story Market is the name of this writing day and you may be able to guess that the tutor will be Iain Pattison. Venue is the Beaufort Hotel, in Burscough, near Ormskirk, Lancs and the day will run from 10 - 4.00. Cost is £30 and includes buffet lunch and refreshments. Enquiries please to Carol Fenlon, 111 Blaguegate Lane, Skelmersdale, Lancashire WN8 8TY. Carol @fenlonh.freeserve.co.uk

It's a bit far away for me otherwise I'd love to join you. Can you take copious notes?

Dee,

My husband's roster doesn't go that far ahead so I don't know if I'd be able to make it (although I'd love to). Also, I'm booked to go to Paris on 10 May - so I don't want to take advantage of hubby too much.
