Christmas get-together |
If your name has a question mark, it means I would like to give you that month, but I haven’t checked it with you yet. By all means, reach out to me and tell me if that month works for you or not.
The host is expected to announce their book at least two months in advance. Want to announce it even earlier? That’s fine!
Established book club members can, to a limited extent, join other book club meetings, for example if they are unavailable for their regular evening. The Tuesday schedule is here, the Thursday schedule is here. Message Heddwen a few days before the meeting to get the location.
We never change dates, not even if the host has to cancel due to illness or similar. In that case the host can send their questions to another member (often, but not necessarily, Heddwen), and the book club evening goes ahead at Heddwen’s place or in a public location.
