NWG Inc’s Blog

Elsie Steer was a recent member of NWG Inc. Ill health prevented Elsie joining us at Merrylands or Parramatta but at last year’s ZineWest, Carol Amos read her poem The Lake. One of Elsie’s timeless stories has also been published in the NEW Writers’ Group Anthology. Elsie was an accomplished artist and illustrated her own writing. She will be especially missed by her long term writing friends at St. Marys Creative Writing Group. The St Mary’s members are dedicating their next anthology to Elsie.

Rowena Brown

NEW Writers’ Group inc member Rowena Brown passed away on 13th February after a long struggle with cancer.
Rowena will be very much missed from among our gatherings. Her stories were always full of hope and promise, even when they dealt with difficult subjects.
A woman of great sensitivity and good humour, she always brought the sunshine with her.

Her funeral service will be attended by a committee member:
2pm on Wed 17th at West Pennant Hills Community Church, 41 Eaton Rd. West Pennant Hills.
