Writers’ Block North East – a service bringing creative people together in the North East region – finally has a home at 95-97 Albert Road (the pink ‘We are Open’ shop unit) and we’d like you to come and celebrate with us on Friday 2nd July 2010! 

Our doors will open at 1pm for a prompt start at 1.30pm and the event will run til 5.30pm. So far confirmed guests include representatives from the BBC Writersroom North, Northern Film & Media and Live Theatre. We’ll hear from a range of successful writers from the region and have the opportunity to participate in a 1-hour writing challenge, working in groups with experienced practitioners to produce either a short film, a play, a comedy sketch, a performance poem or a ‘zine. Booking is essential for the day event and there are only 60 places available, so get in quickly! – to book a ticket please visit http://writersblocklaunch.eventbrite.com/

After a short break, celebrations will continue at Blu Bar, a few doors along from the Writers’ Block on Albert Road, from 7.30pm. Here there will be a series of performances by an amazing line up of local talent, as well as a range of writing challenges (look out for the helium balloons) to keep us busy ‘til the doors close at 10.30pm. This will be a great opportunity to network, meet other creative people from the region, and to find out more about Writers’ Block and what we’re all about. No tickets are necessary for the evening event. Just turn up on the night! AND WE REALLY MEAN IT WHEN WE SAY THAT ANYBODY IS WELCOME – EVEN IF YOU’RE THINKING ABOUT BEING CREATIVE FOR THE VERY FIRST TIME! 

We hope to see you all there – for the start of something really special!
