Have fun everyone!  I have to work that day (plus I didn't read the book...), but maybe I'll get involved for the next book!

have fun, everyone.  We are totally wiped after our trip to the states and I'm definitely not up to traveling anywhere else right now...but maybe one day I'll join up! :)

Shhh, don't tell anyone but I haven't read the book either.   :-[  I didn't think I could make the first meeting so thought I'd take my time with it.  Chapter one is good.   :)

What is the book?  Do you have a list of future selections?  Can't go to meetings  :) but would be fun to know what you all are reading!

DH is going to make a website for the group and it will be discussed at the meeting but I believe one of the pages will be our books and perhaps also a recommended by us page-not sure of all the details!  Oh, and the book was Petite Anglais by Catherine Sanderson...You should read it!!  :)

See everyone tomorrow around 3!  Exjerseygirl, we will most likely be upstairs near the comfy couches if it isn't too busy...or you can save us a spot if you get there before us!  Wherever is the quietest :)

A big thanks to swelch2 for organising everything today - I had a fab time, and really enjoyed meeting everyone!!  S, I'm sorry we didn't meet up again at the fireworks - E and I lost track of time and wound up watching them from a cricket pitch near her house before making a RUN for the last train back up north!!

Can't wait for the next meeting - will be thinking about book recommendations over the coming week! :D

Major props to swelch2 for the organizational effort!  It's midnight and I'm just home from the Pig Races at The New Inn - Meg, you would have DIED!  Fake pigs unfortunately, but lots of fun.  Loved meeting all you all and am way open to future meetups! KIT!

Aww, you're welcome!!  I love organising things :)   I enjoyed meeting all of you and hope that more people can join in the future!  Glad everyone had a great time, if only things didn't close so darn early here :P 

Don't forget to think of domain names and book selections for our next meeting, tentatively the first weekend in December! :) 

Meg and exjerseygirl, it was SO muddy on the Stray!  Be glad that you didn't come out in your pretty shoes, Meg-they would have been ruined! 

Have a great week :)

From my recollections of Bonfire Nights past on the Harrogate Stray, it's always muddy!  (and in our instance, it was obligatory to go have supper at a Chinese buffet that was usually full of American patrons - not sure if the same restaurant is still there or not?)  I have a couple of book suggestions I will PM the gang (warning - 'erm, they are classics  :-[).

Another group name suggestion - credit Meg:  Yorkshire Yanks Book Club?  (I'll try to think up some other ideas too.)  :)

swelch2, although we didn't discuss this at our meeting yesterday, but next month's book club meeting - I still make that as being Saturday December 6 - yeah?

I know we have yet to decide on a place/venue & a book for December, but I've got it on my calendar for the 6th.  (I have to plan out in advance so I know what I'm doing when, or else I'll be all  [smiley=dizzy2.gif]).

You are correct!  I like the idea in keeping it the first weekend of the month.  Helps everyone arrange their schedule and the like :) 

December the 6th is the next meeting-write it down ladies!!   :-*
