23.01.2022 Hi friends, we hope you are all safe and well during this difficult situation. Unfortunately, we have decided it's best to put the Flamingo Writers' Salon on hiatus for the time being. There will be no salon in April or May, and then we'll reassess things. We are 100% committed to bringing the salons back when it is safe to do so. Please watch this space for future updates. In the meantime, we thought it would be great if people would like to use the Flamingo page to post v...ideos of themselves reading their work. We need stories and poems now more than ever! See you all again soon, Emma, Zoe, Snowy, and Matt PS: Our lovely host venue Augustine's is still open for business! Please pop in when you can and support them. Keep an eye on their Facebook page for any changes to opening hours.

22.01.2022 Got something a bit different you would like to read at the February salon? We aim to showcase a variety of writing styles and would love to hear your experimental writing.

19.01.2022 Hello friends! We're looking forward to seeing you all again as soon as we can. The Flamingo Writers' Salon remains on hiatus for now, but with restrictions slowly easing we hope to return to Augustine's and our monthly salons soon. Keep an eye on our page for updates!
