The objective of this meeting was to put forward an activity lining up with Creative Wicklow Grant Scheme, 2024 requirements.

Noline provided copies of the ‘Guidelines for Applicants’ along with the ‘Application Form.’

Suggestions were made as to the activity The Writers Room would undertake. There were three activities put forward:

Produce an anthology themed, ‘Arklow Yesterday Today and Tomorrow.’ Our group would offer submissions for the anthology from students. After production costs the balance from a grant of €3000 would go to the winning student entry in the form of a worthy sponsorship/prize.
Produce an anthology themed, ‘Arklow Yesterday Today and Tomorrow.’ Our group would offer A workshop on ‘How to Write a Contribution to an Anthology.’ to students. Students would then submit their stories/poems and winning entries would be selected. After production costs of the anthology and Workshop were deducted the balance from a grant of €3000 would go to the winning student entry in the form of a worthy sponsorship/prize.
Produce a digitally Interactive Programme (Format to be decided) on the same basis as above.
Finally it was decided that in conjunction with the Grant requirements each member who wishes to participate in the project present their idea. Two things to bear in mind: 1. The above ideas are not cast in stone. 2. Your idea must show compliance with the requirements listed on the application form.

From this point, at our next project meeting we should be able to choose an idea and set up a strategy.

Let’s Go Team!
