THIS year sees the tenth anniversary of Rossendale Writers' Circle and, as part of our celebrations, we are holding a party/open evening which will be attended by the Mayor and Mayoress of Rossendale, among other distinguished guests.

Since our inception, many people from East Lancashire have attended our meetings, as members, adjudicators for our competitions, or as tutors for workshops and as guest speakers.

On behalf of Rossendale Writers, I would like to invite anyone who has been involved with us in any of the above capacities to come to the Rawtenstall Public Library on Monday, October 28, and bring along a friend or partner if they wish to do so. The evening starts at 7.30pm.

Anyone wishing to attend should contact either myself on 01254 392225, or our secretary, Mrs Pauline Hutchinson, on 01254 390806 by October 14.

PETER JONES, Treasurer, 57 Stevenson Street East, Accrington.
