Wgwg is happening tonight, come rain or shine, sleet or snow see you there at 8pm

Eight of us tonight including a new member and I think it fair to say a cracking good time was had by all, it's nights like this that make it all worthwhile. Some damn fine writing was read out, and some damn fine literary criticism was doled out, can't really say fairer than that - plus I forgot to take any money ( again) so it was all for free!

Only three of us - the cream of the crop, I like to think. As we were already perfect writers, we decided to leave at 8.20 and go to the pub. A great evening. Not very literary, though.

Nine people last night - and what a good night it turned out to be. Indeed, Mr Moran, with these three poems, you are spoiling us! Yes, last night we had three new poems from Steve, whilst Raluca's story featuring a rusty penknife led us to a hypnotic and erotic place that was quite amazing and we are all on tenterhooks to hear more. Jamie had a 'madeleine moment' whilst Lynsey is still battling insomnia and Rachel looked both back and forwards...

A really good evening. There were a few new faces, which was excellent. I am looking forward to hearing their work.

Although only four pieces were read out, the feedback was pretty detailed so we went on til nearly 10.

And Anne was missed.

Saturday, October 2: Autumn fete at Willesden Green Library run by Brent Libraries, Arts and Heritage in aid of the Royal National Institute for the Blind (RNIB)

Willesden Green Writers' Group read their hearts out for this and did the video show us? No. However it is a lively and charming video about a pleasant day at the Library Centre.

The question on everyone's lips is - did he do it? Did Bilal shave off his beard, and if he did, where is the photographic evidence?
