Fancy stopping by for a festive drink? Event details inside!

The Windsor Castle Pub

Neither quite one thing or another, the time between Christmas and New Year is a fine opportunity to draw the thoughts of a busy year to a close, and look towards a new year ahead with fresh eyes, new optimism and the up-bubbling of wonderful creative ideas.

Spectrum would like to invite those who can attend to a little social gathering for waifs, strays and those of you just keen to get some fresh air. We can share a chat about our shared passion for writing, genre fiction and any recommendations for the January rituals around resolutions, new reading lists and must-see/-read new additions to the speculative canon.

The venue will be the Windsor Castle in Victoria (formerly the much more evocatively named ‘The Cardinal’) from 2:30pm onwards for a drink, a social chat and a chance to write together for those interested in doing so. Price of admission is free, but the fee to leave is one regulation Limerick on a speculative subject of your choice! The worse, the better 🙂

Numbers are limited only for the sake of trying to get something agreed with the venue. If you want to stop by at any point, feel free to do so.

As we’ll be there for most of the day, don’t worry if the event is fully signed up. Just come along and find us – ask at the bar and they’ll point you to our corner.

Whether or not you can make it, we hope you have a lovely holiday break full of coziness, good food, and good books, and we will catch you in the new year with more critiques, workshops, and all sorts of fun events to help support your writing journey.

With festive wishes,
