Other Groups
During its history the Circle has seldom interacted with other writers groups in and around Glasgow, thanks to its focused working practices and — arguably — its championing of genre fiction. As a result, probably it's the closest links have been with members of the East Coast SF Writers Group (ECSFWG). This group shared a common origin, having originally been formed as a gathering of some east coast-based entrants to the same Glasgow Herald Science Fiction Short Story Competition. A more recent offshoot from ECSFWG is the Writers' Bloc spoken word group, with whom members of the Circle have performed in special joint events.

Famous quotes containing the word groups:
“Instead of seeing society as a collection of clearly defined “interest groups,” society must be reconceptualized as a complex network of groups of interacting individuals whose membership and communication patterns are seldom confined to one such group alone.”
—Diana Crane (b. 1933)
“Only the groups which exclude us have magic.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
