1992/1993
The 1992/1993 Year Book stated:
Anderida Writers is a group of Sussex authors who share an interest in all forms of creative writing. Our active membership includes published and aspiring writers, as well as absolute beginners. We meet in Eastbourne twice monthly, for workshops, talks and other activities. Our aims are to stimulate interest in creative writing and help members to develop their craft through constructive criticism and encouragement. We hold competitions, bring our members into contact with professional writers, publishers and agents, and we publish an annual anthology of members’ work.

New members were Roland Bowes, John Bradford and W.R. Johnson. Meetings were held at the Perran Hotel, but in May the group moved to the Bourne Inn, and soon after that to Chaseley, Bolsover Rd, Eastbourne. An average of 21 members attended the monthly meetings. Robert Crouch had an article published in ‘The Countryman’ entitled ‘The Follies of Jack the Lad.’ Membership was £10 a year. The club had 31 paid up members. Tamara Babadi took over as Vice Chairman. An extra group was proposed for writers of articles and short stories.

Anderida Writers supported The County Library and ECAT ‘Word Fair’ held at the Central Library on November 3rd, 1993. In September historical novelist Rhona Martin, author of ‘Gallows Wedding’ and ‘Mango Walk’ shared many secrets of her writing successes. Cass and Janie Jackson gave a talk at the November meeting on ‘How to Get Ideas.’
