November meeting cancelled - reconvene December

Unfortunately a number of our regular attendees cannot make the November meeting, and others need more time to finish the 500+ pages of Sarah Water's 'The Paying Guests'. 


So, the November meeting is cancelled, but we'll reconvene on Tuesday 16th December to discuss the book and to eat a few festive mince pies.


The usual time and place.

November book - 'The Paying Guests'

The next book group meeting is Tuesday 18th November and we'll be discussing Sarah Water's latest offering, 'The Paying Guests':

(We don't usually pick expensive hardbacks, but since most of the regular attendees have read or are reading this one, we figured we'd go with it.  Plus, it's set in Camberwell!)

As usual, the meeting will be in The Stormbird, Camberwell Church Street, at 7.30pm.

September and October 2014

The September meeting of the book group will be on Tuesday 16th, and will discuss Cora Sandel's 'Alberta and Jacob' (continuing with our cold climates theme!).  Copies are available from Amazon from as little as 1p:
