Members of the Prose & Poetry Group meet to share readings, exchange views and opinions but,most of all, to develop their creative ability by 'writing'.

Using visual, tactile and verbal aids for creative stimulation, members meet the challenges of producing dialogue, prose and poetry both during the meeting, within specified time periods, and also at home... at a more leisurely pace.

Working on the premise that any creative medium, at whatever level, is more effectively utilised once a clear and sensitive awareness of its fundamental mechanics is acquired, members are asked to investigate, analyse and, most important of all, execute all components of the literary variations of form (short story, poetry, play), genre (comedy, romance, drama, satire, tragedy) and technique (prose, free verse, rhyming verse) to develop a better understanding and appreciation of each; and, in doing so, enhance the quality of their personal creativity.
