The aim of the meetings are to involve as many Torquay organisations and businesses as possible in what has the potential to be an exciting week end of activity.

Our advertising is well underway.

Being a small steering committee, our contacts in the literary world can be expanded with your help. Our budget is small and tight and we are indebted to our sponsors who have enabled us to proceed this year.
SOME IDEAS
If you own a Café, why not invite a friend who can give a talk on a literary work. Make frothy coffees.

Churches, Clubs, Organisations. Why not invite people along who publish your books and magazines, your book illustrators. The person who writes and publishes your church notices, your liturgies. Someone to tell you how to improve your publishing skills. Someone to talk on books and magazines that are available to your organisation?

Schools. The English teachers last year did a fantastic job in organising literary works and shop displays. We are wanting to organise a poetry competition with prizes for the children. The Australian Poetry Centre have offered to come down from Melbourne and present three prizes, kindly donated by Torquay Books.

Music. We would like to involve the schools’ music programs for young local people to perform at our venues.
