Day of the Imprisoned Writer (and change of date for the first meeting)

Saturday 15th of November marks PEN's  'Day of the Imprisoned Writer. This annual event seeks to 'recognise and support writers who resist repression of the basic human right to freedom of expression and who stand up to attacks made against their right to impart information.'
To celebrate and raise awareness for this event our first meeting will now be held on the following Monday, the 17th of November, where we will be joining in with PEN's Season's Greetings campaign and writing cards to send messages of support to imprisoned writers and writers at risk.
The meeting will take place in the Elizabeth Gidney 2 Room in the Guild at 5:15pm on the 17th of November.
Come along to learn more about English PEN and to get involved.
We will provide cards and pens!
