Greetings book clubbers,


Thanks to every one who came last nights meeting, lively and interesting. Nice to see old & new faces.


Our next book is The third Man by Graham Green:

Our next meeting is on the 22nd March in The Clockhouse at 8.00pm.


There is a spare copy in Rye books.


Look forward to seeing you.

Greetings book group.


Our next meeting is still in the Clockhouse on the 22nd March. Only problem is the Blake room and the snug are both booked. They have offered us two tables at the back of the restaurant area which will seat 8 maybe 10 at a push. The alternative is bringing the meeting forward to the 15th, but several of you cant make that date. So I propose we meet on the 22nd as agreed and enjoy the thrill of different surroundings.

I think we could have a book group meeting at a bus stop and it would still be fun.


The Third Man is very short, do you have an idea of another short book we can also do before the next meeting?


We can discuss a trip to Banh Banh in Peckham for some time in April.

It?s cheep & cheerful and very good food.


Till then

    • Strange isn’t it…..other European countries s actually come up with solutions to house homeless people, which are pod structure, use of office blocks, etc. homeless are provided with thermals, warm sleeping bag and tent or pop up tent plus tech friendly clothing which means they are warm in extreme conditions. Us in UK? Nothing but chuckinto house of multiple occupation, which is usually not warm and not all have mould, but some do.. live in one room even if you are a family with good only knows what other sort of people…  not referring to ethinicity here but more along the lines of mental health problems, drugs, alcoholics. Single and families all in one property. Or if you are one of the lucky ones, into a hotel you go…   Why don’t we as a nation claw back more money in the form of tax  or avoidance avoidance, off shore accounts or other ways that rich or investors do buck the system….
