A meeting of the Pickwickians

We've finally set a date for our Dickens themed meeting to re-live the Pickwick Papers so get reading! Planning an afternoon walk/pub affair with a possible Dickensian tour. Sat/Sun date to be confirmed but it will be the weekend  12/13th January so put it in the diary.



Hi all!  Sorry not to let you know before but we actually postponed the Dickens date to allow others to make it/finish it!  We are now meeting on Sunday 17th Feb - venue to be confirmed but will likely be somewhere in Southwark.  All research re Dickens type tours are welcome! 

Starting the year on a positive note...

Excellent meeting this week - lovely to see some of those that we hadn't seen for a while! Unfortunately poor Henrietta got the brunt of our criticism and an overall thumbs down from all members of the group (science parts good, family parts not so good was general consensus). However I'm sure she'll live to see another day (or rather her cells will). First read of the year is 'One day in the life of Ivan Denisivich' by Alexander Solzhenitszn. Other suggestions were: A proper education for girls by El aine di Rollo The cellist of Sarajero by Steven Galloway What we talk about when we talk about love by Raymond Caver Shadow Dancer by Angela Carter Invisible Cities by Italo Calvino Memoir of the Sunday brunch by Julia Pandl Return to a Wednesday so we are back to the King's Head on the 9th January at 7.30pm. Have a great Christmas all!
