Let's finish our year at The Writing Group by sharing short family history stories stimulated by the following authentic prompts: Photographs, Letters, News Items, Diaries or something you have discovered on the Trove website. We will supply other prompts if you don’t have any of these.

Choose the prompt that motivates you and write a flash story to share at our December meeting.

We are planning the 2026 programme for The Writing Group and we welcome your ideas, suggestions and preferences for next year’s topics.

• What aspects of writing would you like to cover? 
• Do you have a topic you would like to present? 
• Do you know someone with writing experience that would be prepared to participate at one of your meetings? 

For those joining The Writing Group for the first time and who wish to join Basecamp, please contact SAG at: admin@sag.org.au
