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

    • I'm guessing they're busy. I found out just now that the SNT has tracked down the kids who attacked my dog, had strong words with their parents, and the gang has now broken up. I got a lot of detail, which I won't go into here, but it sounds as if they were also quite compassionate towards some of the kids, who came from less than optimal backgrounds, shall we say.  I know that those kids had nothing to do with the attack of the man in August and that they are also aware of the fireworks problem. Sounds like good community policing. 
    • I'd rather go to actual local Safer Neighbourhood Team meetings and see the whites of their eyes.  Ours in Peckham Rye Park ward (maps of areas the ward covers are on the police website; no idea about the new one!) used to be very well attended, but sadly now not so.  The local police of the SNT seem to change far too regularly so they never have a chance to really know the area and the people.  And the last meeting, held at the Tenants Hall of Brenchley Gardens (so right on the edge of the geographical area), was held with one day's notice.  Not good.
    • Friends of Peckham Rye Park sent emails to its members (do join if you can; it's useful) saying a few nights ago a fire was started on the SE22 side of the park by kids with fireworks.  Horrific.  
    • No One Said It  Was  However spending money you haven't got and increasing national debt is not a great way to run a country now is it ? Or has common sense left you 🤔
