Just checked with the Dairy and it should be fine for us to meet in the curtained off part of the restaurant as usual.
Looking forward to it - I'd better get started on the book!
I'm happy to go back to the Dairy for the next meeting - although not sure if we would be able to meet in the curtained restaurant area on a Sunday night? I'll check.
I can't do 10th July but could do Sunday 17th, 24th or 31st. I'd really like to come along but then again I haven't started the book yet!
It would be good to get the date sorted soon!
I can't do 3rd July at all unfortunately. Perhaps you should go ahead without me though as it's been difficult to find a day! I can't do the following Sunday either but can do the other Sundays in July. I would be happy with an afternoon or evening …
Yes, I work every other Tuesday evening and I think Sophie can't make Tuesdays either. I'd be in favour of going for the same Sunday evening every month - it would make things much easier. Can people do Sundays?
Could we try Sundays?! If we stick to Mondays to Thursdays perhaps we need to start rotating the day of the meeting each month in order to make it fairer as we know that several of us are unable to make a specific night on a regular basis... In term…
I haven't quite got to the end yet so I don't know how I'll feel but at the moment I'm finding the story engaging and care about the characters, which I didn't feel the first time I tried to read it. I agree with you Donna that it depends what you w…
I'll be there although (as usual!) I haven't managed to finish the book - I only started on Monday too and haven't had much time this week! I was putting it off as I started reading it a few years ago and got bored for some of the reasons Donna ment…
Jenny, World Book Night sounds good - have just had a look at the website. I would love a copy of the book please if you do bring them on Thursday.
I've phoned the Dairy to see if the curtained off area of the restaurant where we usually meet wil…
That would be fine with me - I didn't realise it was the same night. What do you all think? I could do Monday or Thursday that week but I remember when we were discussing it that those nights weren't good for some people. Should we change the week p…
I'm not going to be able to make it - very disappointed! I haven't had much time to read the book but am enjoying it so far and would have loved to discuss it. Have a great time tomorrow, and a lovely Christmas too!
I'm not going to be able to make tonight now unfortunately. Looking forward to the Christmas meeting - the Dairy would be nice but very happy to go anywhere else you think of too. See you all soon!
I can do 14th Oct, 4th Nov or 12th Nov - happy to go with meeting earlier in Oct or skipping a month if people prefer. Or meeting on 21st still if we could choose a different book - although that could be a bit complicated!
So far we've met in the same bit of the Dairy every time so it's been easy to find everyone. Waving the book is probably a good idea! Maybe we should try to meet downstairs in the garden area just before 8 and then find a table? May be raining too …
Hi, are people still on for Thursday? I'm looking forward to it, although still have quite a lot of the book to get through! I was wondering if we should agree on a part of the pub/garden to aim to meet in as there might be potential for people miss…
Thanks for starting this discussion Donna. Really enjoyed talking about the books yesterday!
I'd be in favour of moving it to another night if it means more people can make it. I can do any day except Tuesday as I have to work on Tuesday evenings…
Hi, I'm still on for tomorrow. Only just started Bonjour Tristesse so glad to hear it's a quick read! I read Lullabies first - looking forward to discussing it tomorrow.
