A total of 11 people are now members of the Newent Storytellers' Circle, which was set up last year.
But there is a noticeable shortage of men at the sessions.
Organiser, Elaine Frampton said that only one man so far is a regular at the gatherings, which take place at Miss Frampton's home on the first Tuesday in every month.
She said: "Some people tell their own stories, and some read from books. It is very variable, and all most welcome."
Anyone wishing to join should phone 01531 820526.
