Hi, I know there have been various listings on this in the past, but just wondered does anyone know of a book club in St A or would anyone like to help start up a new one? What do you reckon?
I'm new to St.A....

I'd like to join a book club too. Don't know of any I'm afraid as I too am new to the area. Let me know if you're still interested....

there's a MN book club with loads of people from St Albans but we actually meet in Harpenden. Helpfullly I can't remember now when the next meeting is and what the book is - have left my diary at home but will check later and report back!

We meet at the Old Cock on the main road in Harpenden, 8pm.

Hi, just checked and realised it is this Weds! 8pm The Cock, Harpenden - it's on the main road, if you are coming from St Albans you'll see Sainsbury's on the left and The Cock is just past it on the right (just past a little village green with the war memorial). The book we'll be discussing is George Orwell's Homage to Catalonia. You may not have time to finish it before then (!) but do come along anyway, we are a fairly friendly bunch. I'll try to remember to post the next book and date on here afterwards.

Btw, if Orwell isn't your thing, don't worry, we read all sorts - just have a natter about what we fancy reading next. Last book was Still Alice by Lisa Genova. Before that, the 100 year old man who fell out of a window.

Roundwood have you added the bookclub to the St Albans meet ups here?

Roundwood, if you are coming fom St Albans Sainsbo's in on your right and the Cock Inn is on your left.

Good point Avenues, managed to get my left and right mixed up!

When is the next one - I will order the book and come along.

roundwood Sun 28-Apr-13 12:07:24

Next book is Tom All-Alone, 8pm, the Old Cock, Harpenden, 22 May. See you there!

roundwood Sun 28-Apr-13 12:09:03

(Just been to look at adding it to the meet up board and apparently you have to become an ambassador or some such to add stuff - can someone else who is post it, please?)

OliviaMumsnetHerts Sun 28-Apr-13 12:51:10

Roudnwood I will sort for you

I'm a member of a lovely book group in St Albans and we are currently looking for new members. We meet up once a month. You can enquire here: www.bookgroup.info/041205/directory_groupinfo.php?id=594
