The Writers' Rendezvous will take place on Thursday 20th November, from 7.30pm onwards, at the Two Brewers pub in Rochester High Street.  Please try to bring something you've written and don't mind sharing.  We also hope to float several new projects in need of volunteer writers, while we have people in one place!

Hope you can make it and that I'll see you there.

Best wishes

Philip Kane

This from David Nettleingham...

Firstly, I'd like to thank everyone who took part in, or came to support the 3 gigs we put on to celebrate our 1st Anniversary in Chatham, Canterbury and Covent Garden.
 
I am currently planning another London-based event for the New Year, and we have our ongoing monthly slot at Waterstones in Canterbury - so if you want to get involved, please do.
 
For the next issue (Winter 08/09) due out early January, we are very pleased to have Jos Smith as guest editor. He is a man with his finger on the pulse of contemporary poetry in the UK, and is currently working towards a doctorate in environmental poetry. The submission deadline for the next edition is the 21st December, and I welcome you all to send your work.
 
And finally, Summer 2009 will see the release of our first Special Issue, dedicated to the work of migrant and refugee poets. We are working closely with a number of charitable organisations and poet Hubert Moore in highlighting and translating the writers involved.
 
Thanks for all the support you've given in the last year.
 
David
