Greetings,


Thanks to every one who came last night, a quiet meeting due to illness including me. Our next book is ?For Whom The Bell Tolls? by Ernest Hemingway.

I haven?t got a date for next month but will let you know asap.


For those of you who are booked on the radio four book club can you please confirm that you are coming, great if you can but fine if you can?t but please let me know. (except Sheila who has) It?s on the 18th January and we need to be at Broadcasting House for 5.15pm. You also need to think of two questions to ask and send them to me soon.

Dear book group,


I have had a look at "For Whom The Bell Tolls" and it's over 500 pages so I sugest we do "A Brave New World" by Aldous Huxley. We can do

"For Whom The Bell Tolls" another time.

About our man: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aldous_Huxley


Our next meeting will be February 14th in the Clockhouse upstairs in the Blake room.


For those of you coming to the BBC on Thursday please can I have your two questions?


And we have to be at Broadcasting House at 5.00pm. We will be fineshed by 7.00pm and then there is the Korean restaraunt if you like. It's very reasonable and the food is superb.


A big welcome to Jacqueline!


All the best


Chick.

Dear Book group,


Thanks to everyone who came to the BBQ at the weekend. Our next meeting is on the 18th July at 8.00pm in the Blake room. The next book is Down and Out in Paris and London by George Orwell. It's a short book so shouldn't be a problem.

Cheers,

Thanks to every one who came to the meeting last week, a very interesting meeting. I may have revisit my fondness for Orwell.


Our next book is "The Human Stain" by Phillip Roth:

I'll post the date of the next meeting on Monday.


Also a big welcome to Sara and Sharon.


All the best

      Great news! Peckham Rye station to reclaim its public square by next year!

      By first mate · Posted

      The big difference, other than increasingly flaking paint, seems to be graffiti. The question is, will that/ can it be controlled?

      Nasty kids in Peckham Park

      By alice · Posted

      I took back my 🤣 because I think the idea is unworkable expensive and would produce little result.  There seems to be people in the office next to the toilet but I don’t think they leave the office. I’m not sure what they do there.  The toilets have been in a disgusting state for months and months with many promises to repair they are not functional and they invite vandalism. I shall  try to add a couple of photos. The council doesn’t care why should we?

      Nasty kids in Peckham Park

      By first mate · Posted

      There will always be kids pushing the envelope as the saying goes, but having some boundaries should help most understand what they can and cannot do. I think dedicated, daily park wardens is exactly what is required...with a hotline to SNT teams on the beat. Is there no way money made from Gala or from Park parking fees can be diverted to provide that funding? I feel it would be a really good use of money. The principle aim being to maintain the park as a safe and relaxing environment for all. If funding really cannot be found I wonder if there might be funding to at least train volunteer park wardens?
