SIR: May I express my thanks to Gareth Evans of Age Concern. He gave we senior citizens much pleasure by starting the Golden Age Creative Writing Circle at the local centre. I have been very encouraged by this venture, as have the other writers I was lucky enough to meet. We became a friendly group under Sheila Clift's guidance.

I thank her too for kindly advice and able tuition very generously given at our happy sessions. I look forward very much to meeting once again in September if all goes as planned? Questions were always answered, and we shared laughter and tears, which is what life is all about. A magazine is envisaged later. It will, I understand, be comprised of some contributions by the group.

I feel it's been very rewarding personally, and proved that although we are older. we will still enjoy life to the full.

Mrs Joan Foster
