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

    • I am  ill in bed with Covid. It's not that I "can't be bothered" to read things. I am feeling crap and don't have the mental  energy at the moment. I am not "brushing stuff aside and pleading ignorance." I am truthfully saying when I don't presently know enough about something to be able to comment. I have always been very careful to try to  differentiate between fact and opinion in both  my posts and other people's, and I am not clear what your point is. And I am certainly not trying to wind anybody up. This is a forum. If you don't want to respond to my posts, that's up to you. I'm not sure why you feel the need to announce it.   
    • @NewWave I know how you feel. Like you, I've lived and spent prolonged periods of time in some pretty crazy places and always thought I could handle a bunch of kids. But, no - they got to me and I was shaking like a leaf afterwards. That's what age does to us.  But I did engage with them, so bear that in mind.  My advice would be to never let anything like that stop you doing the things you love. I'm certainly not going to stop using the park, there's no way they get to take away our cherished spaces!  If you see them, just change tack and keep out of their way. My dog won't even go that way again, so that's that problem solved. (If I see them again, I'm going to keep taking photos from a safe distance).
