Just getting started

Hello,
I've just moved to the area and would really like to get a nice local book group off the ground. I used to live in Brixton and had a lot of fun with the Brixton Book Group but would like to have a go at running one more local (i.e. staggering distance) to where I live.

The basic idea is:

  • meet every 3-4 weeks (depending on the book)
  • meet in a pub (pints not canapés!)
  • meet midweek (usually quieter)
  • everyone suggests a book, we do a vote and then choose one!
  • no charges or anything to join

That's about it - no rules, no 'ideal book criteria' no age limits or things like that. Just a friendly group that meets in a pub and talks about reading books. Expand your horizons and discover some new authors. 6-8 people is an ideal number to get things going.

If you're up for joining, have a pub in mind (needs to be quiet with no football) leave a note in the comments. I'll add the obligatory facebook group and an email subscribe option soon.
