We are a small friendly group of men and women, with our own different styles of writing. Often we write individual pieces with a common theme. We should be pleased to welcome more members.

Publications

We publish our best material and this is on sale. Copies are available from the Group Leader.

"Grandma and Granddad, what was it like, growing up when you were young?

This little book sets out to secure for posterity first-hand experiences of people from ‘ordinary families’ growing up before, during and after World War II. It has been compiled by members of the Great Glen U3A Writing for Pleasure Group and their friends and relations during the early months of the Coronavirus pandemic in 2020. The curious thing is that we often retain 20-20 recollections of our younger days until the end of our lives!”
