Hi,


I've signed up to donate 48 copies of "All Quiet on the Western Front", and I know there are others in the area who are distributing "Toast" and other titles. Is anyone up for joining me to organise something? I have friends coming for dinner, and I had in mind a bar crawl about 9pm - The Bishop, Black Cherry, EDT, etc. by way of distribution. But it would probably be better to attempt a bigger splash. The Plough has a book club that meets on Wednesdays, and there's a Green and Blue book club, and I've sent them a message. I expect Chener Books and Dulwich Library are also the focus for book collection (if not distribution). All ideas welcome. Thanks, Tosca

A new "literary cafe" is apparently launching on Bellenden Road on that night and will be giving copies of The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie away. Looks like the perfect opportunity to give a new business some support.

You might be interested in World Book Day on 5th March when one million books are going to be given away, as a celebration of reading and of giving.

The Wednesday night book club will be giving copies of Agent Zigzag by Ben Mcintyre from a stall in the upstairs Mez at the Clockhouse between 6.00pm and 8.00pm Saturday 5th March.

    • That said, organised displays could be on Saturday before and after and the actual day, and private ones could just not have the loud ones.  It’s all down to accessibility and people caring/not caring
    • The problem this year is that 5th November falls on a Wednesday. So some places will be bringing their "bonfire night" forward to Saturday 1st and some will be knocking it back to Saturday 8th and there'll probably be a few that just go with Wednesday 5th anyway. If you're doing a public display, having it on a weekend gets more crowds. Which basically means a solid week of fireworks.
    • Fireworks in this area do feel totally incessant at this time of year, almost every evening there is terrible noise. I feel great concern for wildlife, pets (I have a senior cat who hates them), as well as people who struggle with PTSD etc. Last year I even had people setting them off in front of my home. Tonight and yesterday evening have been particularly bad. Is there anything we can do as a community to prevent this? What action can we take? Surely we shouldn’t be expected to just put up with it every year for weeks on end! 
    • Does anyone know what time tonight's events, the second night of the new phenomenon of Halloween Fireworks, end? These do sound too major to be anything but large- scale organised events and they are loud, very loud. So anyone, for their own reasons, that dislikes or objects to this level of noise for the next x amount of hours, really has no choice in the matter! Could those addicted to loud bangs possibly have a kind of silent disco setup with the bangs sent through headphones, so the rest of us could be spared?
