*St Michael's is the venue for the main VWC meetings and the most well attended.

**The Six Bells/ Goat sessions are the less formal and we hold a series of manuscript evenings. Lower numbers allow writers to present longer extracts and receive more in-depth critique (although these days the can get busy!).
