Manchester's
Nexus Art Cafe has become the latest
casualty in Manchester's fight against COVID-19. Meeting point for
many a writers' group, the cafe was a great, cosy, quiet spot serving
tasty toasties and rocky road. Most of the stories I got published
were workshopped behind their walls.
We’re very sad to announce that Nexus has
not been able to weather the Covid-19 storm. As a not-for-profit
organisation, our margins were always very small, and even with your
help we didn’t have the reserves to keep us going. pic.twitter.com/ZRA3dNhOQ3

The staff were always friendly and considerate, frequently donating 'The Nook,' their private room, for our sessions. I
remember one time, after a 2-hour critiquing session pulling apart
some strong stories and poems, I absent-mindedly left my wallet on
one of their sofas- they hung on to it 'til I called in again later
that night.A
great cafe. It'll be missed.
