Meeting
Paul Tracey : 100 Piers - Paintings at the Water's Edge Paul spent five years visiting and painting piers in the UK, Europe and the US. Every pier, from the grandest to the most modest, has its own story. They have been blown up, blown down and the subject of bankruptcies and dodgy deals. Paul's talk will concentrate on the piers we have along the south coast, their history and how they ended up as they are - plus much more!

Meeting
Paul Clutterbuck - Writing, getting published and the publishing Industry. Paul has had three books published and found the experience exhilarating, exhausting and ultimately fulfilling. His life in South Florida inspired his recent novel and, writing aside, he has climbed Kilimanjaro and cycled to raise money for Operation Smile. His work focuses on loss, recovery and the renewal of life amidst complicated social cultures. Paul will share his experience of what it takes to create historical fiction, how to get non-fiction and fiction published and what the inside of the publishing world looks and feels like to a writer.
