A group
regularly meets up in Cambridge. It's open to any member of the SCBWI.

In the past Central East members have held
discussions with school librarians in Suffolk to discover how librarians choose
their books, how children read them and what’s missing from the market. British
SCBWI Central East Region held this meeting jointly with the Ipswich Children’s
Book Group.
Several Central East members have enjoyed publishing
success:
Quite a lot of talent, then in the Central East. The
group is always keen to hear of local success – so if you live in this region
you can have your publishing news showcased by the group as well as in Words
and Pictures. Way to go!

Gill, also don't forget the Illustrator's Print show will be on display in Norwich in July for the first time, I'm hoping to tie in some events here to run with it.
