Gloucestershire Group: Let’s go into research

Join our ever-growing, dynamic Gloucestershire Group on Thursday 19 November from 14:00-16:00.

Let’s go into research

In this session we will share our research experiences and advice:

• What forms can research take?
• Are we research lovers or haters? Does the rabbit hole of research sometimes lure us from our projects?
• At what point/s in the writing process do we undertake it?
• How do we know how much research material is enough?
• What research resources, including AI, have we found to be especially useful or rich?

If you can, please bring along examples of your own research notes (either on paper or on your laptops/tablets); also, any research resources (or details of them) that you would recommend to others. At the session, we will circulate a list of useful information sources.

The venue has great accessibility: it’s the ground-floor meeting room within the Monastery Café building at Prinknash Abbey, Cranham, GL4 8EX. There is a large, free car park, above the café building. Walk down steps or a gentle slope to access the café entrance. The meeting room is immediately to your left on entering, with toilets opposite. The café to the right serves a great selection of non-alcoholic refreshments, delicious cake etc.

If you have accessibility issues, keep driving: there are two disabled spaces just to the left of the doorway. While the café is generously offering us the meeting room free of charge, please bring a plastic card or cash to pay for your own refreshments.
