Well done to Claire who received the following..
"I would like to commission a short story from one of your members, Claire Whatley ..
I enjoyed reading "Ants" and wondered if she would like to contribute to the Broadsheet Stories project. "
It looks like an interesting project from their About Us page ..
"
AboutThe Broadsheet Stories project began in July 2009 with a single outlet, The Forum cafe in Blandford Forum, Dorset. Two more venues were added later in the year: Oliver’s Coffee House in Sherborne and The Town Mill Bakery in Dorchester. Fisherton Mill in Salisbury joined us in August 2010. We are always looking for new locations – get in touch if you are interested.
The ideal location is one where customers are encouraged to linger. There will be newspapers and magazines, and possibly even free internet access. The Forum is perfect: upstairs is Huckleberry’s Bookshop – bookseller and coffee shop blend seamlessly into one another.
At the beginning of every month each venue receives 100 copies of a new Broadsheet. They are left out with the newspapers – customers can take them away if they wish but most read them over coffee and leave them on the table when they go. When they get grubby they are thrown away.
Each outlet starts at the beginning of the Broadsheet sequence. A new story will appear at The Forum first, then at Oliver’s about three months later, and so on. By the time it reaches the last outlet it will have been read by up to 1,000 people. "
