New group for Young Writers

A new group has been created in Welshpool to provide more skills for youngsters and help with their writing.

The Young Writers will hold their first taster session on September 24 at Powysland Museum in town, and is open to 10-14 year-olds looking to improve their writing.

“We have 10 openings for youngsters to come and experience creative writing without marking, assessment or exams,” said a spokesperson.

“Come and simply write for enjoyment be it drama, poetry, fiction or for fun.”

To book a spot, call Pat Edwards on 01938 811063. The two-hour session runs from 10am.

A course is then being organised with five further Saturday morning sessions scheduled.
