Dear Chick and everyone


our guest author Lorrie Moore has a double booking now on 27 May and I need to

start the recording earlier. Are you and your friends able to arrive at

Broadcasting House at 5pm ?


Sorry for any inconvenience but this is out of my hands.


Can you let me know as soon as you can?


Many thanks

Hi there,


I've also just moved to the area and really keen to join a Book Club. Unfortunately I'm away on holiday until 3rd July, so will miss the next session in July.


Is there a date and book planned for August - assuming that i'm permitted to join of course!


Thanks,

JB

send an email address and I will put you on the list. You are more than welcome.

Dear Book clubbers,


I invited Michel Faber to our meeting but sadly he cant come. He did send this though:


Dear Chick,


I don't mind you asking at all, and please send my best wishes to everyone at the book club and tell them that I would have loved to be there. On Wednesday I am actually booked to attend a Canongate event in Ladbroke Grove but I think it's highly likely I will have to cancel this at the last minute.


So maybe I should have asked before.


Look forward to seeing you all on Wednesday.


Chick

Greetings and thanks to everyone who came to the last meeting, I hope you all enjoyed the evening.


The next meeting is Wednesday 6th August and the next book is Woman on the edge of time by Marge Piercy.

See you all then.

    • Hi, a bit late to this thread but I've having the same issue applying for a resident's parking permit for Upland Road. The letter I have from Southwark doesn't even have a phone number on it, so would anyone be able to share the one you used to get this sorted over the phone? Thanks in advance. 
    • Thanks, I have done that and also Go-Ahead Peckham garage because i last used on a 37 bus. 
    • yes, inside looks like a squeeze, we went in early summer and sat outside, really nice way to spend the evening and watch the world (and knackered commuters) go by.  It's time that the tale was told. I'm afraid it was Love Dulwich, which has had some good mentions on here. We only had a mezze and a side dish but the mezze was pretty sad and the side dish wasn't as described on the menu. Maybe other things on offer were better but we've not been inclined to go back. 
    • Good luck with this - there have been several requests over the years by students needing to do infant observations.  I was lucky when I did mine  - way back in 1994 at a local nursery. Have you tried contacting the NCT to see if there are any local groups who would be willing to participate? As a mother of 2 - found the observation very informative - mine was a 2 year old child as my course stated a child under 3. Got my highest grade for this project so was very happy.
