Book club?

General
#1

If I were to set up a local book club would anyone be interested? To be completely honest I’d mainly want to drink beer and have a light discussion about the book, as opposed to anything too ‘highbrow’! I know there are a few others that are vaguely local but, selfishly, I’d like to keep it as close to my house as possible :joy:

Hi Natalie - this was proposed by @Sylvanpost last year, and @Katie, @topofthehill, @Tatiana_Laud, @yasmin_c, @Pauline and @TomAngel were all interested - it didn’t happen last year, but I’m sure you’d have some takers if you wanted to set a club up:

HI everyone, I’d like to be involved - let me know. Sounds good.

I would join if it was once a month or so. Just to give a chance to actually read the book! Naturally glass of wine will help the discussion. Always interesting to read other people’s suggestions.

Also interested! Was actually just trying to find a local book group so lucky. Beer / wine consumption also sounds great!

Ok… so how about we pencil in the last week of January? Thursday 25th? Or the week after (after dry January). Suggest a light read to start (one of last year’s prize winners?) and then onwards members can nominate books?
@moderators - can I set up a poll for the day/venue/book?

Hi @Natalieh101, yes, you can create a poll. I’d recommend starting a new topic for this.

Type (or copy/paste) the following into a post to create the polls (tweak options as required)

[poll name=days type=regular public=true]
* January 20th, 7:30pm
* January 21st, 7:30pm
[/poll]

[poll name=venues type=regular public=true]
* Sylvan Post
* All Inn One
[/poll]

[poll name=books type=regular public=true]
* War and Peace
* 50 Shades
[/poll]

Note that all polls need a unique name

I have created a new group called @book_club containing all the people who’ve responded so far.

To join the Book_Club group, click: /se23.life/groups/Book_Club/members and then click “Join Group”

Note: If you mention @book_club in your post, it will notify all members of the group (by email if they haven’t recently visited).

@book_club Can anyone with a preference DM book suggestions by end of day tomorrow? I’ll then set up a poll for the first ‘meeting’

Thanks all!
