THE KYABRAM TOWN HALL WRITERS’ GROUP

About us

The Kyabram Town Hall Writers’ Group (KTHWs’G) meets every Monday at 5.30 pm at the back of the town hall – depending on covid restrictions or inclement weather, when we meet by Zoom. Our purpose is to provide a friendly and positive activity-oriented support base for anyone (over 18 years) who enjoys writing in any genre at any level. New members are welcome.

In 2021 we produced a book of almost 300 pages. Celebrating Women is the result of a collaboration between the Kyabram Town Hall Writers’ Group, writers in the community, and Splinter Contemporary Artists with their 2021 Feminart Exhibition. We are indebted to the forty-four writers and the twelve artists who used experience, memory, knowledge, thought and imagination to conjure up over ninety original ways of Celebrating Women. Both written pieces and art works dip into the range of the human condition from birth to death – love, hate, joy, sorrow, tragedy, success, anger, revenge, despair and depression, courage and strength, humour, gratitude, wonder, mystery, the earthy and the spiritual, inspiration, introspection, grit and duty, choice and change, yesterday, today and tomorrow – and that’s only part of what half the world’s population is about!

Fittingly, the publication of Celebrating Women coincided with the 110^th anniversary of International Women’s Day, 2021. This is a limited-edition volume, so do make sure you get a copy. It is a genuine souvenir of this area and makes an an excellent gift for any occasion. It can be bought at the Kyabram Town Hall, or can be ordered and paid for online, priced at $20 a copy plus $12.50 for postage and handling (up to four books).

We thank the Apprenticeship Factory (Shepparton) and the Campaspe Shire Council for grants which enabled us to bring the community voice to publication.
