With the 100th anniversary of the outbreak of World War One just around the corner you may be thinking about your family history and preserving it for future generations of your family. You may feel you want to write it down but don't know how.

Don’t worry, local writer Sue Gerrard is running a six week course in Creative/Life Writing from Wednesday, February 26 to Wednesday, April 2 between 1.30pm and 3.30pm or 6.30pm to 8.30pm at Unit One Photography, North Road, St Helens.

Further details from suegerrard254@btinternet.com.

I am looking for stories for my column, and for my newsletter, and for a book, and for the St Helens Heritage Network website and apps. Radio Merseyside is also looking for material. If YOU don’t write about it now, it may be lost forever.
