*Upcoming FAW Tasmania meetings:
- Saturday July 12th 2 pm: You will probably be familiar with Peter Boyer’s writings on the issues of Environmentalism and Climate Change in Tasmania. Instead of our traditional History Lecture he will lead ‘A Conversation about our Climate Future’. This will make for an interesting and insightful afternoon.
- Saturday August 9th 2 pm: Announcement of the Henry Savery Short Story Award followed by a Poetry Workshop with Helen Swain. Bring along a poem you are wrestling with or get advice and feedback from Helen.
- Saturday, September 13th: To be advised.
