Today, was another special day for the Oldbury Writing group. We celebrated our second Christmas together by having a meal at the White Swan. Not only was the company wonderful but the food and atmosphere was great too. It is sad that Bally, a very talented member of the group could not be with us, but in the end we had a wonderful day anyway. Before the meal, we had our group as normal this morning at 10.00 - 11.30 at Oldbury Library, we had a very informal group today though, it being the last one before Christmas, we completed a couple of writing games and spoke a bit about the war anthology we are writing together. Soon after, as the table was booked for 12 o clock, we went to the pub, Nicole had brought some Christmas crackers in so we all had our hats, gifts and jokes. This is a great time to reflect upon the year and to be honest with you, we have achieved so much. We have raised hundreds for charity, developed in our writing skills and Bally, has won a brilliant photography competition. Not to mention we took part in a documentary for the Walsall Poetry Society (as at the time I was the editor for the WPS) and we decided that we would be writing our first anthology together. Not only do I believe that starting this group 22nd August 2014 was one of the best things I ever did, but I am so proud and privileged to say, I have friends like Nicole Simms, Bally Barquer, Andy Lines, Jackie Adams and Percy Emaus whom makes up the O.W.G.
