Impromptu

Its at situation like this you realize how much people like and want to do certain things. Yesterday was one of them.

After getting tied down at school sorting myself out, finishing late, I decided to go straight for Tuesday's Intermediate meeting. But to do that, I need to remind myself again of the location. Remember it was (supposed) to be a brand new place. Anyway, having left my printed copy of the map at home, I have to check the internet again for it but what did I see???

A new IMPROMPTU mail from Mark. Oh dear! Changed, location moved. To a pub again? Absolutely ...! Anyway, I got on the bus to it. It a wonderful, old, 'viking sort of' quiet-noisy place. mhhh... Anyway, there you go. I circled round and finally got its entrance. As always, I was noticed; dont ask me why. And I noticed Alex too, blimey! Why wouldnt I? And who wouldnt by the way... The tall giant. Anyway, it was nice cos it was a confirmation that it will hold.

So we went and grabbed something to drink, gosh... there was a serious tomb of hell in the middle of the inner (chamber) pub. So where is Mark? I made call, he appeared.

Anyway, they turned up. No collector among us, No Miranda either. But it was fun. We tend to agree like members of BNP, Ferdinand was a confusing entity. Miranda was .... c'mmon someone tell me.

Anyway, it was a nice meeting. The number was good regardless of the impromptu info about a change of venue.

Looking forward to 2 weeks when we meet again to talk about Tractors in Ukraina - what an odd name to give a book? Anyway, that's what she want to call it and funny it won an award... I wonder what for.

Cheers all. Godwin

And so it came

Yea, the gig's come and gone and I'm sure everyone present enjoyed it. Welldone people.
At the Garrick Arm today, it was more of a party than a bookclub. So many new faces, substantial number of oldies too; welcome guys. Thanks to Mex for a change in location; Mark's organisational capabilities was its peak today reaching out to all; excellent Mark. Its appreciated.
Well, it seems the pub location drew most people out. It was nice to see some run-away soldiers re-appear - hahahaaaa - welcome back friends, and good the book was discussed in more of make-up groups than general.
Thanks to the Garrick Arm too for such a comfortable provision: seats and food alike. Their staff were also very nice and did good service.
So guys keep your ears on the ... for news on what comes next.
Cheers and see ya all soon.

It's On Tuesday

Yea, after one month, we are getting back to discuss again. This time, its The Collector we will be discussing with. Hope everybody is enjoying it or has enjoyed it. I am yet to do my bit on that.
So this is a reminder to your all who dont put up your hands when the boss asks who committed the offence of reading books. Dont think you are innocent, go find the book and read so we get a balanced knowledge of your thought and...
Ok, that's that for now. Looking forward to seeing you all on Tuesday evening in the basement of Waterstones. its quite a nice place to meet.
Take care all and hope to see those who missed out on the last one in January. Cheers
