Gathering of the Tractor Assessors

First may I say a big & hearty thank you to Sharon for the provision of that cosy, warm and wonderful board room for yesterday’s meeting. So good was it that one cant but wish to discuss books forever. Thank you Sharon, you are a darling.

Yea, that said, thanks to all who made it yesterday to warm the new venue, what do you think? For first timers, I think that’s a superb welcome and a motivation to come again.

So, what happened yesterday. It was a good discussion. I think the best thing for any bookworm is to have an opportunity to discuss the book. It relieves, especially having the opportunity to criticize, alter and amend the author’s focus. Heheheeee….

Yesterday was also the first anniversary of the bookclub. Should be a beautiful day which it was by my observations:

· First the attendant was good for the first time since June when I join on (mind you, I dont rate Garrick Arms, that was a jamboree).

· Secondly, it was the first time in 6 months since we had every one present contribute less one (please dont ask me who).

· Thirdly and most important, Sharon’s offer of a cosy posh room is befitting of the anniversary and I look forward with hope that she be able to retain access to that space for us a long time. Thanks Lady.


So among all the venues so far, from Red Lion to Abbey Tavern to All Bar One when the group finally took off and landing onto Mark Allan. It then moved to Royal Festival Hall before its compulsory 18 months renovation chased us to Waterstones, then transition (or translation) which we are still passing through like gipsies gave a celebration at Garrick Arms, Cittie of York, and now (is it the promised land really), the BTI office courtesy of a kind-hearted fellow.

Cheerio all and keep the number up.
