Our next meeting is Wednesday 21st September in the Blake room at the Clockhouse.

I look forward to seeing you then.

Dear book group,

There is a strong possibility that Rob Shearman who wrote our last book Love Songs for The Shy & Cynical will come to our September meeting.

Evie Wylde, a local author is going to come to our November meeting if we read her second novel, All The Birds Singing:

The above have yet to be confirmed, we can decide a date for November and Evie Wylde on the 21st September.

Till then.

[Chick]

Just a reminder that we meet Wednesday 21st in The Clockhouse upstairs in the Blake Room.

[Chick]

Dear book group,

Good news, Rob Shearman will be coming to our meeting next Wednesday so do please come along.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Shearman#Fiction_books

I suggest we discuss Beloved first then talk to Rob about his book of short stories, writing in general and Dr Who, Rob did some script writing for Dr Who. So it should be an interesting meeting.

I am struggling with Beloved but intend to finish.

Till Wednesday,

[Chick]

Slight change, we will be meeting in the snug area downstairs for this month. In the front door and up the stairs on the right.

[Chick]

Last reminder of our meeting tonight.

[Chick]

Dear Book group,

Many thanks to those of you who came fro our end of year meal, a thoroughly good night.

We have had a good year with three mainstream authors coming to see us, Michel Faber, Rob Shearman and Evie Wylde. We also had a local philosopher come in to lead a discussion on consciousness after we read a book on atoms and where they come from. We are stardust.

Thanks for your continued support. I have benefited from having such a large genre of books to read.

The radio four book club has also been fun and we may well go back next year.

So all the best for Christmas and the new year.

The next meeting is January 18th in the Clockhouse. The book H is for Hawk took a bit of getting into but now I am thoroughly enjoying it.

Hoots & haggis,

[Chick]

Greetings book lovers,

Happy new year, hope you had a good one.

Just a reminder that our next meeting is on Wednesday18th in the Clockhouse in the snug/mezzanine area.

All the best,

[Chick]

Just a reminder our meeting is this Wednesday at 8.00pm in the Clockhouse.

Greetings book group,

Thanks to every one who came to last Wednesday?s meeting. Also a very good and funny meeting thanks largely to Alice Mc Kain.

And a big welcome to Geof. Our next meeting is on 15th February again in the Clockhouse. Our next book is Arthur & George by Julian Barnes.

Some time in the future I am going to organise a trip to Westminster Abbey. Loads of famous scientist?s are entombed there: Newton, James Clerk Maxwell, Faraday.

Also we will be having another meal this time at Bahn Bahn because it?s so good.

My preference for both is a Saturday, can I have some feed back on this please.
