BOOKWORMS and budding writers joined workshops and discussion groups at a new literary project.

The event at the Platform Gallery, at Clitheroe rail station, was part of the New Pages scheme, which received lottery cash to help set up creative writing workshops, book discussion sessions and regular group activities in libraries and village halls.

The Ribble Valley scheme is being run by Clitheroe woman Maureen Fenton and Lancaster writer and performer Caroline Gilfillan.
