Our theme for April is ‘Moments That Matter’, with topics ‘Memories Treasure Chest’, ‘The Moment I Knew’, or ‘If Only I’d Known’
‘Memories Treasure Chest’ (*suggested for new/newer mambers)
Create/Draw upon an ‘Memories Treasure Chest’ in a shoe box, drawer or old case containing objects and artefacts that reflect your passions and enliven your memories, through scent and feel.
Maps, menus, theatre programs, an old report card, vials of perfume, a garment, treasured photographs, a souvenir, an expired passport can sometimes trigger a work rich with detail.
Select two items from the treasure chest as creative prompts – what do they mean to you? What were you doing, why; what were you thinking at the time this object related to your life? (250 words each object)
‘The Moment I Knew’ (*suggested for continuing members)
Do you have a romantic realisation you'd like to share? From quiet domestic scenes to dramatic revelations, a chance to write about and share a story about the moment you knew you were in love. Tell us about the moment you knew … (Guardian series exploring romantic love & the moments we realise we have fallen in love.

Alternative… tell us about a ‘moment you knew’… in a different context… OR
‘If Only I’d Known …’ Tell us about a time when, on reflection, if only you’d known (….), your life would have changed in some way, hopefully by being enriched!
Of course, you can choose from any of these topics!
