Lichfield group celebrates a decade of creativity and friendship
A Lichfield group, which is dedicated to providing a supportive space in the city for aspiring writers to share their work, recently celebrated its 10th anniversary.
Lichfield Writers is a community-based group for local authors and aspiring writers and was founded in 2015 by Cathy Dobbs.
Originally meeting at Lichfield’s former library, the group has moved through several venues over the years before settling in its current home at Cruck House. The historic venue provides the quiet and privacy essential for members to read their work aloud and engage in constructive discussions.
“I always envisioned the group being free of charge for everyone,” said Cathy. “However, finding a venue in the city that is both quiet and free proved to be nearly impossible. By introducing a small membership fee, we’ve been able to secure Cruck House for our sessions. It truly is the ideal space for our group.”
Over the past decade, Lichfield Writers has fostered a supportive environment for writers of all skill levels. Members are encouraged to share their creative writing, receive constructive feedback, and connect with like-minded individuals.
“The heart of this group has always been its members,” Cathy added. “I’m especially grateful to Sientje Sherry, who has been with us since the very beginning. Her dedication and support in helping the group run smoothly over the years have been invaluable.”
