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.

    • But when was it posted?! I haven't posted any this year. I can't bring myself to pay the exorbitant cost of the stamps, and at least I can sort of honestly blame it on illness. If I can't hand deliver them, I send e-cards. I know it's not the same, but it's very much easier. And as for the people who still send pages of closely handwritten letters .... very admirable in terms of the hours it must have taken them to write them,  but they remind me of those spoofs eg x has just passed all their many important exams with the highest marks possible, y has just walked round the world in a week, z has just become the first person ever to be knighted twice, we are about to fly off for our fifteenth exotic holiday this year ....... Or else (or sometimes and) they are full of who has had what illnesses and accidents and other catastrophes. Is this just my relatives and distant friends? Am I somehow attracting these reams of handwritten paper?
    • Oh, I didn't know that! I didn't move here till 1991 (I think) but the NCR incarnation must have been around that time? Unless my failing memory is even worse than I thought it was, sob.
    • I just googled, and apparently there's another branch of the Soho Street Govinda's  in Theobald's Road. I had no idea.
    • yes that's the one!  it was (nearly) harmless fun to get the un-initiated to put the coin in for you i also seem to remember that the Hanway Street place was called Govinda's.  it was vegetarian, vegan even - but it was much more palatable fare than the standard Hare Krishna stuff.  I also used to go tot he Indian Y - which I remmber discussing on the EDF some eyars ago.  And then the first Wagamama opened off Russell Street
