What a great theme for the end of year conference, especially for those of
us in the WDG with Irish ancestors. The difficult part will be deciding
which Irish ancestor to choose!

This is indeed a great – and innovative - opportunity for SAG to benefit
from its WDG members’ contributions. While I don’t have any Irish stories
to tell on this occasion, I’m sure that some of us will be able to
participate in this event, and as a result, there will be many more
invitations coming our way in the future. This may well become an integral
part of SAG’s events. SAG is to be congratulated for this initiative.
Cheers

Afternoon from a very windy Panania,
Below is an email from Danielle, with an invitation for the Writing
Discussion Group. This is a wonderful way we can promote our group. Have a
think about it and please let her know, if you would like to present.
Bye for now, Lilian

Hi Lilian
You may have seen in our latest program that we have chosen an Irish theme
for our annual end of year conference this year. The Lost In brand is no
longer being used and our conferences will no longer always be a standard 2
day event. This one will be a two week period of activities on the theme,
with a one day conference on Sat 31 Oct. So, it's more of an Irish
Festival, rather than just a conference.
As part of the activities, we want to invite members of the Writing
Discussion Group to write short stories about the Irish members of their
families, or their Irish research. These could either be presented in an
online event in the week before or the week after the 31st, or published as
articles on the website. The Hang Out session on 30 October will also have
an Irish theme, so some of the stories could be presented there.
Requirements: There aren't many, but for online presentations they should
aim for between 5 minutes to 30 minutes; and for written stories they
should aim for 250w to 2000w and preferably include pictures.
Would you please extend this invitation to the WDG and ask them to start
thinking about what stories they could tell. We will provide more
information about the specifics of the arrangements, such as due dates,
soon.
thanks
Danielle Lautrec
Education Officer
