Campsie Writers Group traditionally meets twice a month in Lennoxtown Library. While that wasn’t possible, we held online meetings through Zoom. We’re meeting in the library again now, but in future we plan to continue with both types, online and in person, to allow some of our further flung members to stay involved.
Check the calendar if you’d be interested in attending a meeting, and please get in touch if you’d like to join one.
