Message from Dr David Gray, Director, Mersey.

The Writers Club Motto is “In the Discipline Lies the Reward”

There is No obligation to join the Writers Club because you attend an Introduction Day

On the contrary, the hesitant or reluctant member tends to be unreliable, weak on discipline and thus he/she detracts from the dynamism of the club which is not fair to the others.

I put no pressure on anyone to join and take no offence if anyone backs off.

But, provided you stick to the demanding discipline of the club, I promise you it works.

And, once a member with a single one-off subscription of £400, (Paid after the Introduction Day) you stay a member at no further charge until successful in the SAQ Paper or the E&SAQ Paper and can attend any number of the SAQ Weekend courses free of charge.

Finally, this commendation which sort of sums up the many such emails we receive:

“I am sending this mail to you with mixed feelings of pleasure, satisfaction & gratitude, just to inform you that I passed the FINAL (FCARCSI) finally day before yesterday at Dublin. I have never in my life before passed an exam which has a pass percentage of less than 20%(19.2%).
Well the main reason of me writing this mail to you is firstly to thank you for all help that I got in being a member of writers club. The club helped me in number of ways, those articles helped me not only in SAQ's, but also in MCQ's & VIVA's”.

So it goes

“If you feed the children with a spoon, they will never learn to use the chopsticks”
