The group originates from a Creative Writing class with tutor Ann McKay in the Centre for Lifelong Learning of Limavady College of Further and Higher Education. The class began in February 2002, and has been running now for four years. The group has published two anthologies – Flowing with the Roe in 2002, and I’ll Take You There in 2004. Group members have published and broadcast their work widely. Others like to develop the practice of writing creatively for personal enjoyment. Some of the writers want to revive their memories of the life of the place and its people, landscape and language.

The classes involve reading and discussing a variety of literature, writing spontaneously, and the reading and constructive criticism of members’ work. Ideas and information (on literary events and outlets for writing) are exchanged. New members are always welcome. The Creative Writing class meets weekly on Monday afternoons in the Centre for Lifelong Learning of Limavady College.
