WATFORD - WHAT'S YOUR STORY?


On 14 December 2024, David Elliott presented two workshops at Watford Library as part of National Heritage Day.


Watford: What's Your Story was an opportunity for people to come together 

and celebrate what our town means to them, through the medium of writing.


David has very kindly provided a copy of his workshop slides; and these have been uploaded below. 

We are delighted to offer some examples of peoples writing below

and our sincere thanks to David for devising and presenting a really wonderful array of sessions.
