A beer, a books & talking football at Dulwich Hamlet FC with author Ross Raisin Wednesday 5th April


Recommended Posts

Shortlist magazine and Village Books are delighted to host Ross Raisin, in conversation at Dulwich Hamlet FC on Wednesday 5th April at 7pm. Ross will be chatting about his latest novel, A Natural.


Tom Pearman has always known exactly the person he is going to be. A successful footballer. A man others look up to. Now, though, the bright future he imagined for himself is threatened. The Premier League Academy of his boyhood has let him go. At nineteen, Tom finds himself playing for a tiny club in a town he has never heard of.


A Natural delves into the heart of a professional football club: the pressure, the loneliness, the threat of scandal, the fragility of the body and the struggle, on and off the pitch, with conforming to the person that everybody else expects you to be.


Ross will sign copies of his book after the event.


The ?10 ticket gets you a copy of the book (RRP ?14.99) and a choice of a drink from Dulwich Hamlet?s huge selection of craft beers. BOOK TICKETS www.village-books.co.uk

His debut novel, God?s Own Country, was published in 2008 to rapturous critical acclaim, the book went on to be shortlisted for eight literary prizes; Ross won the Sunday Times Young Writer of the Year Award in 2009.

    • Do also remember that, whilst this is the original there is an unrelated FB presence with a (very) similar name, which might also be prayed in aid. 
    • Yet another increase, its absolutely disgusting. I was charged £7.95 to send documents recorded delivery last week. I asked for the Signed for option that only costs £2.50 but the Post Office refused & said they would only send them recorded delivery. 
    • Thanks Admin for clarifying - I’ve now found the post they used to scrape my telephone number from. So it wasn’t a data breach from EDF, rather my foolishness posting it online 15 years ago…    Still leaving this thread here if that’s ok so that people are aware of this scam and don’t fall foul of it (also to think twice before posting phone numbers here as it can be used by any one as I’ve found out!)
    • There is deliberately nowhere to enter your phone number, name, address etc anywhere when registering an account on this forum. There never has been. There is no way to attach this sort of personal information to your account.  If someone says that EDF has given your phone number, then this is a lie. No personal information is sold to any third party and it is not collected in the first place.
