Welcome!
You are on your way to creating a memoir - The Memory Lane Club makes it easy and enjoyable.
Our memories are unique to us and, arguably, define who we really are. A memoir is the best possible way to safeguard and preserve them.
The best kind of memoir is not, necessarily, a chronological account of your life. It should be more a recollection of the events that - for diverse reasons - have meant most to you and can be retold, ideally, as stories about those events and the people and places involved.
David Rolfe - founder of The Memory Lane Club and Memoir Services - is a BAFTA-winning writer, producer and director of over 100 documentaries and programmes featuring all walks of life including prime ministers and royalty. You can see a full credit list on the British Film Institute site. He is now a performance coach at Performco.
During a process of retrieval memories that once seemed to stand on their own may suddenly become connected. You are, metaphorically, climbing a gentle incline to a crest that will enable you to look back and see things laid out before you as in a landscape with its various features and landmarks. Their relationship to one another can, suddenly, become clear - even revelatory. These are the moments that can generate the all-important “reflections” on life and add the real value to the process and to your memoir.
