Judith Hill has been involved in Creative Talk since it's almost accidental inception over ten years ago.

Originally Kath Mullane and Ron Scott shared a fortnightly Literature discussion group but, to Ron's chagrin, Kath enjoyed talking. She enjoyed it a lot! When Ron finally complained that she was monopolising the lessons she decided to utilise alternate weeks for a class of her own where everybody could talk and discuss various topics. She called it Creative Talk.

When it became necessary for her to drop the course Judith Hill took over and has been leading the course for more than eight years.

Judith said Creative Talk is better than Creative Writing because it's not necessary to write anything down.

It's a very popular class, boasting twenty-seven members in 2008, with more than twenty attending every week. Judging by the group I met the sessions are entertaining, informative and comical—all at the same time!

Judith said that one benefit of the course is that it gives people who live alone the chance to come out and talk to somebody.

Each week the class selects a topic for discussion at the next session and in the past few weeks the topics have included phobias, necessities, convenience, and—wait for it—all in wrestling.
