We had a temp change of venue. I had checked it out and was told it would be quiet but when I got there it was mobed, no where to sit and very loud. Then it started to rain very heavily so we had to get a taxi to the Clock.

Poppy,


Sorry have just seen your post. Please do join in, we meet in the Clockhouse which is at the bottom of Barry Rd., where it meets Peckham Rye. Next meeting is 10th October at about 8.00pm and the book is Anna Karenina. But don?t let that put you off. We have two months to read this one.


Cheers



Chick

Yes please do. Keep an eye on the forum for Novembers meeting, I am having trouble with my mailing list.


See you in November.


Bye the way there is no attempt to finish in October, it's a big book!

How are people doing with Anna K?


I am on page 128 and am enjoying it. To start with, there were just too many words and no sign of Anna. Now that she and Vronsky have met and a few sparks are flying, I have found some traction with the plot and characters.


Levin needs a slap and needs to man-up. It is one hell of a brick though. Only another 680 pages to go ...

Good meet this evening. Thanks for organising Chick.


The next Curry Club meeting is on 24 October at Tandoori Nights, all welcome. If you search for "Curry Club" you will find the thread.


We will probably meet at the EDT at about 7.30-ish and eat at about 8.30ish.


Please come along, maybe post on the Curry Club thread or here so that I can book a table.


Looking forward to the FB page!!

Greetings book clubbers.


Thanks to everyone who came along last night for another superb meeting. A big welcome to Jacinda & Jessie, hope you both enjoyed your first meeting.


The book for November is still Anna Karenina which everyone seems to be enjoying much to most people?s surprise. Most have just scratched the surface apart from Michael who is half way through.


The venue is the Clockhouse and the date is 14th November, 7.30 to 8.00ish start time.


At the next meeting we can choose a venue for our Christmas meal.


Carina has set up a Face book group but I am not sure how you join, but do try.


Also check this month?s curry club.


Hoots & porridge,



Chick

Greetings book clubbers,


Just a reminder that we meet on 14th November in two weeks. Been a long one this time with 5 weeks between meetings but a welcome since the book is so massive. Hope you are all ploughing through and enjoying it as I am, much to my surprise.


Had a great play which Carina organised but couldn?t attend.


Michael, maybe we could combine our Christmas meal with the curry club? Just a thought. No news from Alexia but will let you know.


I will attempt a mass email today.


Och Aye,


Chick.


PS dont forget to be friend us on facebook, see link above.

14/11 is good for me Chick. Page 600ish at the moment. I too am enjoying it.


Also - a combined Curry Club/ Book Club Christmas meal is good. Curry Club have identified Wednesday 12 December as the date with the Mirash Tandoori as the venue. We will meet in the EDT at 7.30 and sit down in the Mirash at 8.30.

Here is a link to World Book Night 2013. I cant say I find it very inspiring, Andy Mc Nab, it'll be Dan Brown next.


Having had a look there are about five books I would consider and will make notes tomorrow. In the meantime please have a look your self and we can discuss on Wednesday.

    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge".
