Starting a book club


claire3

Recommended Posts

Hello,


Is there anyone else out there like me - with toddlers - missing the days when they had time to read for enjoyment?! I'd really love to join a book club with people in a similar situation where the emphasis is as much as meeting up for fun at the end as well as discussing the book over a glass of wine or two. Ideally I'm looking to meet up with people once a month either at a local venue or at my/others' houses if that's not too much of an imposition.

Let me know what you think!

Thanks.

Thanks Claire, that's a brilliant idea! I'd love to get into reading again and to meet other mums/dads in the area. And even if we may not always get enough time to finish the books (because of our toddlers) it would still be nice to meet up over a glass of wine :). Would love to hear more if more people are interested!


Thanks,


Hanna

Hi


There's the Wednesday night book club that meets in the Clockhouse on Barry Road:

and Green and Blue Book Club that meets wherever it can find a nice quiet spot in a local pub that does reasonable priced nice food and wine. Last time we met in the Mag and discussed Pat Barker's first novel Union Street. Next meeting is on 5th June at 7.45 for 8.00 in the Mag when we will be discussing Changing Places by David Lodge.

    • Perhaps you should also speak to your insurer too.... in your shoes I would worry that not doing enough to property's protection would make me negligent in the event of damage.
    • Sorry Dulwichlass, but it doesn't really take us anywhere discussing whether he has a mental illness or not. (And to be honest, as far as you're know, I might be extremely well qualified to see signs of it...... )  But I need to focus on the real issue here- that we have some serious problems, which needs to be sorted out. Otherwise, my mental illness will badly deteriorate. Thank you for your input.  
    • Thank you, freeholder has given consent to the external extension but I'm not sure about the chimneys or internal walls. Given there's no sign of council approval for the latter two, I suspect not!   I am the other leaseholder and I agree, it's bonkers that I'm not. If it comes to it I will try and get the freeholder to make them give me a notice. 
    • I also agree that it’s unfair to indicate that this man has serious mental problems, as I don’t think you are qualified to diagnose this. I think it’s more likely stress from having to live close to a family in a small space. I believe you say you are a quiet family but small children make a lot of noise, so you could pay for more sound proofing as a gesture of goodwill for disrupting his life. Could also try mediation.
