Great news!
I am in the process of planning a poetry writing workshop.
It will be conducted by one of our very best local poet. (Name will be disclosed on a later date but I can assure you it is worth the money) The fees are not confirm yet, maybe S$40 or even lower for one/two sessions. (I am working hard to lower the fees)
I need a min. of 25 participants to start the workshop. So if you are interested, or if you know anyone who might be interested, please let me know. (But donÂ’t last minute play me out hor)
The workshop will only commence once I have 25 confirmed paid participants. So the earlier I have the min. participants the early I can confirm with him.
The venue will be at central area located near MRT station. I have a few places in mind liao. For such an affordable price, this is an opportunity not to be missed.
The details will be out later. Just have a show of hands, who are interested?

Dear poets,
This is to let you know that this poetry writing workshop is jointly organized by Bishan CC Youth Executive Committee and The Literary Centre (Singapore).
I am really grateful for their assistances. Hopefully we can get enough participants to start the class.
Please help to spread this news to your friends who might be interested to improve their poetry-writing skills.
Thank you. -
Okay more or less the fees of the workshop will be as followed,
$30 (For #Bishan CC members & *students, up to tertiary level)
$35 (For non-members/non-students)
#You will also get to enjoy the $5 discount if you are a member from Bishan North CC, Thomson CC, Toa Payoh Central CC, Toa Payoh South CC, Toa Payoh East CC, and Toa Payoh West CC.

I am afraid I canÂ’t confirm the exact date and time yet, but it is confirm one of the Saturday during the coming June school holidays in the afternoon.
I wish to stress at $35 for a poetry-writing workshop it is really a bargain. The market rate is $200 for a full day workshop. The reason for the low fees is because it is heavily subsided by the CC. Moreover it is conducted by poet from The Literacy Center (Singapore). I donÂ’t think you can get this anywhere else.
Registration is open at Bishan CC now.
Looking forward to see you guys during the workshop. Please support. -
There might be a change of date. Will keep you guys updated.
