Happy New Year. Our first meeting of 2025 is Saturday, 11th Jan, at The Playwright. Arrive early for food and chat (midday-1.30), then it's stories and poems on the theme of 'happiness'. Small charge for this meeting. If weather deteriorates, we'll update here.

A quick update: today's meeting is going ahead, but obviously wrap up warm and give yourself extra time travelling, if needed. Technical issues with the card reader at the venue means you will need some cash for buying a drink. We look forward to seeing all who can make it.

IMPORTANT UPDATE midday 27/9- apologies, there's going to be further delays for the first half of the meeting. With the tram strike, and accidents, it's hindering the arrival time of organisers. Please be patient. The Mechanics restaurant is there for food & drink meanwhile.

.@SCforArtists We're following up on our emails re pirated copies of our members' audiobooks illegally uploaded to SoundCloud. These operators on SoundCloud have hundreds / thousands of pirated books, making your platform an open forum for hosting illegal content. We contend that asking #authors / #publishers to submit individual DMCA takedowns for each audiobook is unreasonable. It seems you have no proactive preventative system in place as for example @YouTube does? Do you make any attempt to shut down accounts that are mass-posting illegal content? All of this seems to be at variance with your commitment to creators. Let us know your thoughts. Many thanks
