Annual NAWE Retreat

Take Your Time to Write

NAWE Retreat for Writers in Education – now taking bookings for 2012. (Please note – we are accepting bookings first of all from NAWE members who have not been on a NAWE retreat in the last two years to give new people a chance to take part.) 

Ty Newydd

Ty Newydd was once the home of Lloyd George. Situated in North Wales, about twenty-five miles from Bangor, it stands in landscaped gardens with fine views over Cardigan Bay and towards the mountains of Meirionydd. It is very easy to get to by public transport.

Note: Arrangements can be made for people to be picked up from Porthmadog and Cricieth. We also meet people at Bangor station but due to the distance involved, a small charged has to be made.

The centre had been closed for extensive repair and refurbishment and reopened in April 2006 with new facilities and disabled access. http://www.tynewydd.org/english/

Retreat Details

Next event: Monday 9th April  – Saturday 14th April 2012 (we leave at 11.00am) 

This week’s retreat for NAWE members will provide unstructured time to recharge your batteries. It will help redress the balance between working in education and developing your career as a writer.  The week is a retreat, not a taught course, and writers will be expected to help with catering.  Everyone will get a room to themselves.  The venue has good access for people with disabilities.  If you require more information on this issue, please contact Anne Caldwell.
