Thanks everyone for posting pictures from the Flash fiction Festival 12-14th July on social media. I have collected them up for the gallery. Some of you also sent me pictures to add to this gallery.Thanks to those people too. The slide show gives a good sense of all the festival readings, workshops, the books, the bar, the karaoke. Flash fiction friends having a good time! If you have any more pictures to add to the selection do send to me and I will add.
To remind you, next year’s weekend date is booked at Trinity College — 18th-20th July. Preparations underway shortly.
One picture we haven’t got in the gallery is of our volunteer, Nicola Keller, who sold the raffle tickets. Thank you very much to everyone who donated the fantastic prizes and also bought tickets. We raised £460 which I have sent to the Dovetail Orchestra of refugees and asylum seekers in Bristol.
Jon James, the Artistic Director, sent me this emai:
“We’re very grateful to all who donated at the flash fiction festival weekend and are excited to put it to good use with our summer beginner courses. These courses are so helpful in up-skilling our current members as well as reaching out to new asylum-seekers to give them access to what we do.
Our next concert will be at the end of September/beginning of October all being well – it rather depends on how this new cycle of songs takes shape over the summer! We’ll post all the details on our FB site and will keep you in touch.
Many thanks and all best
I recommend anyone in the area, going to one of these concerts.
