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.

      4+ Assessment Advice for Parents

      By Lord Pencilton · Posted

      It has come to this author’s attention that the world of 4+ admissions — that most enigmatic of educational rites — continues to bewilder even the most composed of parents. Fear not. For in a former life, I was not merely a humble observer, but a seasoned educator of over twenty years, and Head of Pre-Prep for a distinguished dozen. Now, with quill exchanged for touchscreen, I have taken to that most modern of salons — Instagram — to dispense guidance, answer frequently whispered questions, and illuminate the shadowy corners of school selection with clarity and calm. Each post bears my signature twist: a blend of insight, levity, and the occasional raised eyebrow. Should you find yourself adrift in the sea of admissions, I suggest you peruse my latest dispatch. It may well be the lifeline you seek. The Delicate Dilemma of the Summer-born 4+ Scholars Yours in solidarity and scholastic savvy, Lord Pencilton  🎩✏️

      GALA 2026

      By kiera · Posted

      Perhaps Gooseygreeny was not familiar with the wildlife before Gala was imposed on the park, since when its value to wildlife has deteriorated. The Park had never been disturbed before, as the council had respected it as a Site of Importance for Nature Conservation, so only the Common was licensed by them as a site for events. The first time Gala held their event, there was a tree with woodpeckers nesting in it right in the middle of the main field they used and thrushes, blackbirds and great tits nesting within the shrubs and trees immediately surrounding the field. The woodpeckers were thriving on ants from the anthills in the grass. To those of us who used to enjoy watching the wildlife, it was very obviously a Site of Importance for a variety of birds. Despite being accessed by the public and their dogs, it had been relatively undisturbed,  which was one of the main reasons why it was so special and why I have been opposed to the Gala festival being held during the bird nesting season.
