Hole in One
Congratulations to Inverness member George Sim who achieved a hole in one at the 170 yards 9th hole at Inverness Golf Club using a driver. George’s playing partners were John MacKenzie and Bob Smail.
George is pictured receiving his hole in one flag from John.

For most children, I suspect that having a writer in school may be the first time they’ve met someone who actually enjoys writing.

Spotted on the wall in the school I visited yesterday. Hold on to the hope 🤗

We have suffered years to those whose teaching experience is minimal and who dismiss motivation, pleasure, imagination, engagement, deep thinking and creativity - the cornerstones of genuine education. No wonder children don’t read
Sad times. Totally agree with more comics/libraries but I wonder how many parents read for pleasure? I certainly struggle to find time. So where do kids see role models reading? You’ll be surprised to know that even on CBeebies Bedtime Story they don’t actually hold a book…

As @frankcottrell_b says in the article, the solution is in our hands. Stop closing libraries. Retain school librarians and employ many more. Fund author visits to schools. Publishers, stop throwing cash at celebrities and focus instead on engaging young readers. We can fix this.

Rights Rabbit is in the road (well, rails) again today. I wonder where they are off to? I guess we’ll find out later.
ALT A red cloth bag, a slightly bigger black bag and a soft white rabbit toy all sit on a wooden seat in a train station. They all have the Children’s Commissioner logo on them. Behind them we can see a blue and white ScotRail train.
Just here for the American Politics. 🇺🇸
I know who I’d vote for but always like to see if I could be convinced otherwise.

Gorgeous new Ice Cream Boy review:
“Filled with love and compassion - this book had me in tears and laughter throughout. 100% a five star review. This is a truly wonderful book and a definite must read…a perfect class read for anyone wanting a book that focuses on empathy.”

Taken some time to reflect. Because I write for a living I think I was oversensitive about @ljlittleson's initial post. I understand the frustrations other writers must be feeling when they struggle to get their great work on shelves. Please tell me how I can help support them.
