ABOUT THE AMED WRITERS' GROUP The AMED Writers’ Group (AWG) is an open, friendly, informal forum for anyone who shares a general interest in the uses of writing for personal, professional, organisational or creative development. We interact both online and in bimonthly, face-to-face meetings. In addition, periodically we post information about, or host or participate in, other events which may be of interest to AWG Members. Many of us also have crossover membership with other networks such as the OD Innovation Network (ODiN) and the Change Alliance. We have developed into a kind of community of practice, in which we are prepared to act as a resource for each other, both during our scheduled meetings and informally between them.
Where we meet and how we work
Place and Time. Most of our meetings take place at Roots and Shoots, London SE11, which is our new venue near Waterloo Rail Station. We meet on the 3rd Friday of every even-numbered month from 1.00-4.30 pm, unless otherwise indicated. After our meetings, we generally continue our conversations in a nearby pub, wine bar or cafe.
Scheduled AWG dates for 2012 (more details forthcoming under 'Events')
A typical 'agenda' might look something like this:
o Welcome and catch-up
o Introduction to Theme of the Day and /or agenda-building
o Equal air time - Following our interests (often in smaller groups, or individually)
o Sharing reflections in the large group
o AWG business (brief)
o Continuing the conversation afterwards in a nearby pub, wine bar or café.
Your invitation
Do come and join us. We are a friendly, open, informal and generous community. We are serious about our interest in writing, and we also enjoy having fun together. We are always looking for opportunities to support and celebrate each other’s writing projects and interests as critical friends, and we aim to foster greater awareness of the potential contribution of writing to personal, organisational and creative development.
To cover our costs, there is a small charge each of £10 for full AMED Members, and £12.50 for Networkers and Guests.
Please feel free to pass on this information to anyone else who you think might be interested. If you'd like to offer to lead a session, or to discuss anything about the AWG, please feel free to contact me.
Best wishes. Bob MacKenzie, Convenor, AWG.
