SLANZA Wellington Term 3 meeting

12/9/2019

0 Comments

 

The meeting took place at Girvan Library, Wellington College on a wet afternoon. Liz Mason made us feel very welcome and had arranged for us to use a room above the library. As always, we shared an excellent afternoon tea.
Our special guest was Fleur Beale. She spoke to us for an hour or so, about her work. She talked about the things she has learnt about writing, and gave examples from her work. She spoke about her latest book and the background to its being written. Fleur also shared the proposed title she had chosen for the book, and that the publisher wanted something different. Fleur asked for our opinions and an interesting discussion ensued.

​Our AGM followed, during which we farewelled Christine Cross for her ten years’ work on the Wellington Committee. Next year the national SLANZA conference will be held in Wellington, so 2020 will be a busy time for the committee.
After the meeting we went to Ozeki Restaurant for dinner. This was a cheerful time of networking and friendship.
