Writing for fun : Sat Jul 01, 2023 11:21 am  

In 1988 I started to write a novel that combined my interests in Rugby League since 1947, my working as an electrical draughtsman most of my life and the old saying about work that "They should write a book about that place. It would be a best seller". I have now written six novels and have thoroughly enjoyed doing it. I have also talked with many rugby league fans about this too. Some have told me that they would like to do what I have done but would need plenty help to get started. Other people have told me that they have relatives or know neighbours who could tell a good tale too about their life. Good news for all of them. I have also written three pages of advice advising how anyone can get started. If this interests you or anyone that you know then E Mail me at wgeofflee@gmail.com and I'll send them to you. Just include the note that you read about this on this Leigh site. My web site can also be seen at geofflee.net

Hi Glee. You say you were an electrical draughtsman. My Dad was the same at Norweb (etc) for many years. No chance you worked there by any chance ?

Over the years that I worked as an electrical draughtsman I worked at fifteen mainly engineering companies across the north of England plus two in London but never at Norweb, Vancouver Leyther.
I also spent a week at a cotton mill in Hungary and two weeks at another cotton mill in Portugal all of which helped me in one way or another to get ideas for story lines for the six novels that I have written.

I’ve been to a few places in my years, but cotton mills in Poland and Hungary take some beating mate !

It was Portugal, not Poland where I spent a week!

I’ve never claimed to be a bright man.
