 Venues have included St Aloysius Church, the Glasgow Film Theatre, the city's branch of Border's bookshop, and a smaller function room of a Glasgow church.The Circle's workshops are neither instructor-led nor formally arranged.Although the group does follow a set routine (modeled on the Milford Method, wherein each person who has read the story gives their comments before the author's final "right of reply" at the end of the session), the meetings are democratic in nature.
