Here is your new-look website. We have listened to members comments and agree that the old one wasn't that easy to navigate.

With that in mind we have tried to make all the links easier to follow and whatever page you are on you are just one click away from another.

We are also aware that the yellow background of the old site wasn't to everyone's taste so we've changed that also.

Please enjoy browsing the new site and give us your feedback. We have kept a lot of the features of the old site but tried to add new ones including columnists.

NEW AFFILIATION

We are pleased to tell you that the LAA has become a member of The National Association of Writers’ Groups (NAWG).

As an organisation, this will help us publicise our events and connect with writing groups across the county, but also brings you additional benefits as members of the LAA.

NAWG hold annual member competitions which you can now enter (after you’ve entered the LAA competitions of course!), there are writing resources and a critiquing service available, and on top of that they organise an annual writing retreat as well as the annual ‘NAWGFest’ weekend.


Please take a look at their website at nawg.co.uk for further info.

Tom Takes This Year's Honours

  Our Writer of the Year is a man who does so much for the LAA behind the scenes. It is largely because of his efforts that our annual Open Competiotion runs so smoothly, so  it gives me great pleasure to say; Congratulations Tom Ungless!!!!

Well Done Tom!!!!
