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


Chick

    • The step means Love Dulwich is not disabled friendly though they went to help someone on  crutches up the step last time we were there  much prefer it as a Turkish than café but maybe not for this group   The noise level might be an issue as it’s all hard surfaces though I don’t recall it being noisy. check out Olivelli the menu has a good range  though it’s not the best Italian you can get. There’s also a step up into Maria’s - much smaller but you need to negotiate the step and door at the same time. Olivelli has more room and if I remember right the toilets are on the ground floor. A consideration if steps are an issue The Lordship might be an option. Noise is not usually an issue. We’ve enjoyed various meals there. The ladies toilets are on the same floor as the tables (the gents may be upstairs). The staff are always friendly
    • It’s about chains, and the ethos of family run business versus unhealthy competition

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
