LWC Awards Dinner 2025

As a club, we’re very proud to gather once a year to honour those members who have produced or published outstanding work throughout the year.

Club President Mark Brandon presents the Penfold Media Award to 2025 Winner, Morag Edwards

This year, our Awards Dinner took place on 6th November. Our honoured guest was Rob Bray, author of best-selling educational texts and historical fiction, whose after-dinner speech touched on the special status of writing communities and praised the inclusive culture of our club in particular.

The climax of the evening was, of course, the awards themselves. Congratulations to all the 2025 winners, who are:

Norman King Fiction Award: David N. Martin (for ‘The Typewriterists’)

Ena Young Poetry Award: Emma Lee

Doris Adams Short Story Award: George Burnett (pictured below)
