There will be a raffle – proceeds to support ‘Buzzwords’
Tickets £5
Please note that if you want to get a ticket on the night, you will need to go to the box office (at the front of the Town Hall)

Gloucestershire Writers

In other festival news – please support, if you can, the Gloucestershire Writers’ Network event (event 81) on Monday 8th October at 9pm at the Town Hall. This event is the only opportunity that the main festival provides for local writers so please support it if you are able. Tickets £4

New Venue!

We have found a new venue: from November, Buzzwords will be upstairs at The Exmouth, Bath Road (opposite the co-op). The pub has been refurbished and now has a pretty function room that is ideal for us. This means that we will be able to return to the earlier start time of 7pm, which I know is easier for many people. There is a car park and if the pub car park is full, the ‘shoppers’ car park is just around the corner.

The new management at The Exmouth are being very helpful so do come and support us to show them how we can benefit the venue."
