YOUTH GROUP

Our first meeting for the Youth Group was held in Dec last year. Considering the Tafe's and Universities were on holidays, we were able to welcome Harry from Yeronga Tafe to the group.

It was a successful meeting, Harry was able to give us an insight to what students are doing in the area of writing.There is alot of talent out there and Fairfield Writers Group want to encourage and support that.

It was great to see that there is interest in the group and now that the new year is here we can move forward and get this group up and running.

Our ad for the group will be in Feb's "What's on" booklet. Our focus will be to talk to the Tafe's,Schools and Unversities in the area to encourage students to join the group in the hopes of developing their writing potential.

Looking forward to a great and exciting year ahead!

YOUTH GROUP

The Fairfield Writers Group have decided to form the Fairfield Young Writers Group (FYWG).

The first meeting is to be held on the 11th of  December 2010 at Fairfield Library at 9am.

FYWG is a Writers Group for young people aged 18 to 25. Members offer mutual support to encourage young writers to develop their skills and seek publication.

Fairfield Young Writers Group (FYWG) meets in the Fairfield Library on the 2nd Saturday of each month, commencing at 10am.

Meeting format is determined by the members, but generally members critique each other's work and may agree to work on assignments to develop specific writing techniques.

FYWG was established specifically in response to demand from younger members of the community, and is mentored and assisted by members of the well established Fairfield Writers Group.

Beginners are welcome.
