New 'What's On' Listing

After burning the midnight oil for a lot of nights I have changed the What's On listing page to a dynamic system that allows you to add your group details directly to a database, thus cutting out the work of retyping it and uploading it. Also the listing now only shows events that are current or in the future so it is no longer necessary to keep deleting the old entries.

At present, to avoid spam and other unwanted material appearing on the listing, each event will be verified before it is displayed. In future a password system might replace this. Please be patient if any gremlins appear as this technology takes some time to perfect. If you have any comments on the new system please contact me via the Contact Us page.

Luton Writers

We have a programme for new writers that provides the way to construct short fiction, novels, films and STAGE PLAYS. We are currently recruiting writers who have or would like to have the ability to write the above.

Meetings are spaced out to enable the writers to practice the tutorials and should they care to produce a full length work to suit what they are particularly interested in. Each group sets the meeting days and dates. The fees to cover all the costs are £25-00 for the year.

Luton Writers are a non-profit making organisation and any surplus of the fees is placed in our account to help future plans.
