I was going to suggest that there is a maximum of say, 5 books brought as otherwise we end up with a big pile on the table that no one wants again. Last time a couple of good souls volunteered to take the unwanted pile to charity as everyone else had left and we didn't feel we could just leave them on the table.

Either that or take away the books you bring that don't get taken by anyone else, or make sure you take away the same number that you brought.

Can't wait for this again. I think the limit idea is probably sensible.


I'll put a bid in for the Gowlett - cos I'm lazy. We also talked about swapping round the night of the week. How about Thursday, 23rd Oct?

I think Asset's idea about taking away the books you brought that no-one wants is good, but inevitably there will be people who leave early, and therefore some flotsam and jetsam to sweep up. Therefore if we keep a 5-book limit too, that would be reduced.


Gowlett works for me but the Clockhouse might be good if we can book the little mezzanine, as we can spread the books out on the table for people to rummage through. Happy to book it if anyone agrees.

Let's say Wednesday 22nd October, 8pm at the Clockhouse then. I'll change the title of the thread later today unless there is a mutiny in the next few hours.


Rules are you can bring a maximum of 5 books, so those who stay longest aren't lumbered with 27 copies of the Book Thief come the end of the night.

      Fireworks

      I heard them & our two dogs were extremely upset by it..  bad enough during the evenings but at least can have music on to dilute the noise!   Some people have literally zero thoughts for others!!

      I have signed that petition.  Someone was letting off loud fireworks at about 3 am this morning. They woke me up.   I don’t know where they were exactly but it sounded like they were in the vicinity of Dog Kennel Hill.

      Assistance Dogs - Autism: any experiences?

      By JMK · Posted

      https://www.assistancedogs.org.uk/information-hub/assistance-dogs-emotional-support-dogs-and-therapy-dogs/   hello   i’d be interested to understand if anyone.has experience of Assistance Dogs especially for autistic children of different ages for emotional support and therapy   There was a prior thread on this topic on EDF 10 hrs ago but it had limited experiences and there was a (claimed) change in UK legislation in 2019. Whilst the industry appears unregulated/unlicensed, there are several providers (approx 15, perhaps more) who claim to have fully trained dogs or say that they can help families to train a puppy/young dog over the 18-24 months.  The latter obviously comes with a need for strong commitment to the challenge. Costs for a fully trained assistance dog are quoted at £13-15k albeit they claim £23k total cost to train the dog. On the one hand, this could potentially be a useful solution for some families if such a dog was truly trained as their websites claim and such a dog was accepted in public places and schools etc… On the other hand, I don’t think that I’ve ever seen an assistance dog of this type or in this context (only for a blind or partially sighted person) and hence a real risk of fraud or exploitation! The SEN challenge for families coupled with limited resources in schools or from local authorities or the NHS as well as the extremely challenging experience of many families with schools offering little or no support or making the situation worse leaves a big risk of lots of different types of fraud and or exploitation in this area.
