Thursday 17th July, 10am to 12noon, Rochdale Central Library
This week the Riverside Writers session will include a workshop titled “Charity, Fortitude & Hope” from Ray Stearn.

Although Ray is not divulging too much ahead of the session we do know that the words are the motto of the RNLI, and that Ray is a volunteer supporter of the organisation. Whatever the precise content of Ray’s workshop we can certainly expect something that is both entertaining and informative and of course it will be great for sparking new ideas.
So should you find yourself all at sea, left in Ray’s wake or in need of some creative resuscitation the why not come along to our free creative writing session at Rochdale Central Library, Number One Riverside, Rochdale.
