Topic : book club |
|
| loobiloo |
Does anyone out there know if there's a book club in Silsden? If so I'd really like to join.  |
|
| gremlinguru |
Don't think there is but why don't you start one? I bet you would get quite a bit of interest if you advertised it well. I'd be interested. |
|
| micky |
Yes, I would like to join one too! |
|
| loobiloo |
Can we have a book group of 3?? Seriously tho I wouldn't know how to sart one.If I did I would. Is anyone interested in putting our heads together? |
|
| hermione fraggle |
You could advertise it via a thread on this forum in the announcements, and also ask if the coffee shops or some of the other businesses in town may put u posters, especially one of the coffee shops or pubs if you had your club meeting there. I would be interested in joining too |

Several months ago on the Silsden net I asked about book clubs and no one seemed interested. Maybe the BMDC Library service could have useful advice how to start one. I know that in one of the N.Yorks villages there is a good one where a memmber has arranged to borrow a set of books for the group. BMDC may operate differewntly. |

I just put "start a book club" into google and it brought up loads of sites one is called my-bookclub.com there is a link to starting one from the bbc website as well.I suppose if the library won't supply the books, it will be quite expensive as presumably everyone reads the same book and then discusses it and moves on to the next one a week or two later so might be buying a couple of books a month. Bradfor libraries also have a website, there could be some info on there |

I'm interested in joining one and helping to set one up if others are too. Liz |

Hi, maybe after the bank holiday a few of us could get together and sort something. It may be too much for 1 person to sort, with work / family commitments. I'm happy to meet up sometime, possibly one evening in the pub?? |
|
| gremlinguru |
That sounds like a good idea. Just post day and time on here. |
|
| LizzieW |
Yes, that sounds like a good idea. |

Can anyone meet up, say next Weds night (16/5) at 7:00 in the Punch? If so, please respond here and I'll see you then. I'll be the one with the pink carnation, haha. |
|
| Bob T |
Wednesday night is music night live turn on |
|
| victor |
Will you be there Bob |
|
| loobiloo |
Shall we say another night then, or another venue, I'll go with the flow. |
|
| LizzieW |
I'd be interested on a Tuesday or Thursday night. |
|
| loobiloo |
Thursday is fine with me, especially since Weds is music night in the Punch, I obviously hadn't realised! As I don't know if anyone else is interested you say which Thurs you want to meet and what time. Happy to change venue too if needed. |
|
| LizzieW |
The Punch is fine with me. I can't make this Thursday but the following Thursday (24) is fine. Is that OK with you? Say 7 pm. And anyone else who's interested too. Liz |
|
| craftycat |
Am interested, keep me posted on the details/dates ect... alison_foster@yahoo.co.uk Thanks |
|
| loobiloo |
That's fine, a week on Thursday, 24th May 7:00 in the Punch. If we continue to post any future meetings while getting this off the ground we should hopefully capture anyone who can't make that night. |
|
| LizzieW |
I'll be there. Loobiloo, do you have a real name? I can be contacted at elemal55@talktalk.net |
|
| LizzieW |
An interesting article on book clubs!! www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/books/9268847/Want-to-run-a-successful-book-club-Avoid-wine-steer-clear-of-Middlemarch-and-dont-mention-Sean-Bean.html |
|
| hermione fraggle |
I am hoping to be there |
|
| canread |
Hi, I would like to join in as well, but can't make that Thursday. Could you post up which book you decide on as well as date for next meeting when known? Thanks |
|
| LizzieW |
It would be nice if anyone who's interested in coming would put their real names on the messages. Unless there is some good reason why they'd rather just leave their user name. If you prefer to just use your user name on here, please will you email me at elemal55@talktalk.net. Without sounding funny, I'd much rather have an idea of who I'm going to meet. Liz |
|
| Peter |
I can understand someone not wanting to make their real name public on the forum. I'm quite happy to collect names of people that are interested in starting a book club and email them out to those that are interested. If you want to email me with your email address, and name, I will do a round robin email with the date and time of the first book club meeting. Email - peter@silsden.net Subject - BOOKCLUB Your name Preferred date, time and location to meet Peter |

I doubt you will miss me as I have blonde and red and will be wearing a blue coat. I think I will forget about wearing a red carnation in my button hole though  EDIT: I am not going to make it afterall. I will send my details to Peter for the next meeting |
|
| LizzieW |
Looking forward to seeing everyone tomorrow at 7 at the Punch Liz |
|
| Peter |
I have sent all that have expressed an interest with starting a book club an email. Good luck for your first meet tomorrow (7pm @ the Punch, Thurs 24 May) Peter |
|
| hermione fraggle |
I am sorry I wont be able to make it as I am attending the Annual Town Meeting. Sorry  |
|
| loobiloo |
Thanks to everyone who said they were unable to make the meeting last night. As there were only 2 people who came we have decided to have another meeting, in the Punch one weekday evening. Can anyone who is still intersted in getting this off the ground please post with details of when they could come to another meeting. Alternatively you can ring me on 07427533785. Once this is decided we may put a poster in the library to generate more interest. It would be such a shame if all the interest so far comes to nothing. |

| canread |
Any day other than Thursdays are generally good for me, though I do have meetings at short notice, so would only be able to confirm 24 hours before. |
|

Unfortunately I was away and could not attend the meeting held on 24/5. However I am still interested in joining a book club. When is the next meeting? Thanks. |
