Eurobodalla Writers 
Hi Eurobodalla Writers, just enquiring about the Batemans Bay Writers Festival this year. Has it been cancelled or being held on a different date/venue? Could you please let me know. Thank you in anticipation.
Regards
Marjorie
Hello Marjorie, my apologies for the delay. We’ve just had notice from the Batemans Bay Writers Festival that there will be no festival in 2017. However, the next festival is being planned for March/April 2018. If you go to http://batemansbaywritersfestival.com/ and scroll down you can subscribe for updates about the festival. If you are interested in coming along to a Writers Group on the South Coast Eurobodalla Writers which meets in Moruya both day and evening groups have some vacancies.
kind regards
Suzanne
