Dear all,


I am thinking of starting a book club for parents who have babies.

I have done a quick search on the forum and there are a few book clubs in the area - Green and Black and I know the WI has one but from what I could tell they all take place in the evening after 7pm.


Because of my little one late evening is not that suitable and I was wondering if anyone else was in a similar position.

I really love reading and discussing books and I would love to discuss them with other Mum's (or Dads!)


I am thinking of having a meeting once a month, on a week day at around 2 or 3pm somewhere on Lordship Lane (with babies)!

I can also host in my house now and again.


If a book club like this already exists please let me know!

If not and anyone was interested in joining me, let me know.


Best,

Laura.

Dear Mums,


Thanks for replying!


There are about 6 of us, so I am going to make a proposal.

I have had some private posts too.

How about Tues 20 April at 2 pm in The Plough.

That should give us some space.

That is 5 weeks from now so hopefully we can all get a book read by then!



Book wise I was thinking The Outcast by Sadie Jones.

This should be easy enough to pick up second hand from Amazon or the library.


The main thing is that it is a informal book club for Mums and that we don't have to worry if the little ones are feeding, playing or crying while with us!

The Plough should be fine for the little ones to have a little play.

Eventually if things go well and we are still able for it we can always go to the park during the good weather.

This should be better for the older ones.


Let me know if this suits you?


Best,


Laura

    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
    • CPR Dave, attendance records are available on Southwark's website. Maggie Browning has attended 100% of meetings. Jon Hartley has attended 65%.
