The Creative Writing Group was formed in February 2026. We aim to increase awareness of the different forms Creative Writing takes and develop the skills of members through practice and discussion. We hope to begin presenting selections of our own work through links in the weekly u3a SEL Newsletter.

We welcome new members and currently meet in a private house in New Eltham, an area that is (usually!) well-served by roads and the 321 bus and overground rail from Lewisham. There is also limited parking available by arrangement.

For further information contact the Convenor using the link above.

Creative Writing Group celebrates the Summer

The Creative Writing Group celebrates the Summer with a brief sample of our work: "Have we got Haikus for you!"

You may know that Haiku is a Japanese Verse Form that challenges the writer to create a memorable piece by using only 17 syllables spread over 3 lines in a strict 5 - 7 - 5 ratio. We hope readers enjoy the variety of ways our Writers have responded to the challenge.
