Come on, everybody, we need your help! As you can see from the article below, the Village Hall is holding a repeat of the very successful 100-Word challenge that it ran several years ago. For those of you that weren’t at the last one, this is a brief resumé of what it involves -People (about forty last time) put pen to paper, and wrote a short story of exactly 100 words, comprising a start, middle and end. Then, on the performance night, the submitted stories were distributed to members of BADDS who kindly agreed to read them out to the audience, in batches of five. In the audience, each row was handed a marking slip, and after each set had been read, all these slips were collected, collated and a room-favourite determined for that batch of five stories. Then the next set would be read out, marked and so on. When all the sets had been marked, a break was had, including a shared supper and supplies from the bar. Then the process was repeated, reading and judging each of the ‘batch-winners’. Thus an overall winner, second and third were determined, and prizes accordingly handed out. But as you can see, the success of the evening relies on a good supply of stories! So come on, even if you haven’t written anything before, have a go - NOW! The closing date for entries is 30th October. Send your entries to: digitalip@btinternet.com
