The Unplugged Chameleon
Lindsey James is the man who organises the excellent Unplugged Chameleon at the Arts Club in St Ives. He is dedicated to fostering creative talent in Cornwall and is always happy to hear from new performers. If you are a poet or a musician with original material and you would like to perform for a small and supportive audience, you can make contact via the Chameleon's Facebook page. Up until now it has been a monthly venue but it is about to go fortnightly so there will be plenty of slots available. Each slot is roughly ten minutes in length. Hope to see some new faces there soon. :0)

Next Meeting
The next meeting of Redruth Writers will take place on Saturday, 30th July at the Melting Pot Cafe at 1pm. The planned Wednesday meeting was abandoned when it was discovered that a drumming group had been booked into the room next door. It was agreed at the last meeting that we would continue with just a monthly Saturday meeting for the present time. Please ensure that your work is available to other members by 23rd July. Look forward to seeing you all very soon. Abi

Confirmed Times and Use of the Comment Facility
The meeting on Saturday, 25th June will be from 1pm until 3pm. David and I will be there from around noon enjoying a bowl of Ben's excellent salad. You are welcome to join us if you have the extra time. :0)
The Wednesday meeting will be a little shorter, from 7.30pm until 9.00pm, but there is an accoustic jam session in the cafe itself and members may wish to stay on for a while. Numbers vary from week to week but it is always a pleasant evening.
It occurred to me that people may wish to use the comments facility here as a means of a) reporting their 'input and output' (as discussed at the meeting) and b) just generally keeping in touch. Please feel free to do so.
More later. Abi

Confirmed Times of the Next Two Meetings and Other Information
The next two meetings of the group will be on Saturday, 25th June from 1pm until 3pm and Wednesday, 13th July from 7.30pm until 9pm.
We have agreed a 'sub' of £2 per meeting to cover the cost of the room. Tea and coffee - and other more stimulating beverages - will be available from the cafe. On Wednesdays, there is usually a meeting of local musicians and some members may wish to stay on to listen.
I will shortly be circulating a list which shows the e mail addresses of those members who which to participate in the exchange of work for the purposes of comment and discussion. We have agreed that work should be sent to other members no later than seven days before the meeting. We have further agreed that, as a matter of courtesy, we should try to avoid overloading fellow members with excessively long pieces of work. As a rough guide, I would suggest no more than 40 lines of poetry or 3,000 words of prose. I envisage that longer pieces of work might be read and discussed by prior arrangement and perhaps over a somewhat extended reading period.
