The inaugural meeting of the Norwich Book Club took place this evening against a backdrop of extreme weather.
Apologies were read for Finns (unfortunate shift change), Rogerthedragon (again, the demands of work) and HarryJones (but boy did he try hard!)
My heartfelt thanks go to Flapjackboy, Marathon5, Herandhim and, of course, Poohbear and friends for coming and I know we all had a lovely time. There was a remarkable amount of discussion about books too!
I won't attribute books to bringers but they were :
'Midnight's Children'
'The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nightime'
'Wayward Women (A guide to Women Travellers)'
'Between Males'
'Something Dangerous'
'Scandalous Risks'.
Draw your own conclusions guys. What would YOUR appropriate book be?
The more observant amongst you will have noted the low turn-out and given that I had about 30 intending to come it was a tad disappointing. Their loss, of course, but they need to know I reluctantly turned people away once I thought there were enough coming. Shame. I won't next time.
But to those non-attenders who were just too worried or shy to show - "Please come next time. We are all lovely, genuine people who had an enjoyable chat over a pint in a pub. I SWEAR nobody passing by would have guessed we were other than a genuine book club. You single girls would have felt totally safe. I did."
So the next meeting will be in about a month's time. Unless, of course, those of us who have just met decide we can have enough fun without the rest of you!!!!!!
Jezzay.

Hi Jezzay
Good to see the hideous weather didn't put everyone off. It's too late now to plough back through all the posts to try and match up all the books from the original thread posts.
I'm still sticking to Britain's 500 Best Pubs because I am an anorak
I'm sure a splendid time was had by all and look forward to my invite to the next one
Top effort Jezzay.
I have my pin
I have even put it in a safe place so I know exactly where it is. Assuming you meet the criteria and get authorisation, I can always get you one next time I am at a social and that will give me even more of an excuse to come and meet you. :twisted:
Regards
Harry Jones

hi
sorry we missed it but we had no invite sent.
hope to make the next one.
Yeh - you did, guys. The message began like this :"I've finally settled on Thursday 15th September at ... Hopefully we can gather in the room on the corner and take it over. I shall be there at 7pm, clutching my book!.....". It's visible in my Outbox which normally suggests it's been read by the recipient. Also because I did lose my broadband at one point I did post asking people who hadn't received their invite to get back to me.
Anyway, next time maybe.
I've had a lovely late apology from NorfolkBBW who had tried her best but circumstances got in the way at the last minute. Definitely next time!
And I''ve been offered a supply of pins so there's no stopping us now.
Jezzay.

I'm glad you all had a good time, hopefully next time I'll be able to make it.

Erm...if it's in your outbox it hasn't been picked up by the person you sent it to. It moves to your sentbox when they pick it up.

Make the next one a Friday or Saturday night and I will try my best to attend, being an ex Norfolker...........

D'you know - I was pedalling to work and I thought "Idiot! You typed Outbox." I meant Sentbox - I did honest. As it is in there. Honest.
While on the subject - and for next time - is there a way of sending the same PM to more than one User at the same time?
And thanks, guys, for the positive comments.

Jezzay,
Just add my two-pence worth as well and say 'thank you' for organising the evening. It was my first 'munch' and being new to the area was a nice introduction to people from the site. AND they told me Norfolk was dead.................
Looking forward to the next one already.

Hi Jezzay
- I do wish Norwich wasnt so far away. I love book clubs. Well done for starting something intellectual for the site addicts. Makes a change from bukkake and piss-ups.
Happy reading everyone......
Where, where rofl

Hi I'm so sorry for not coming on Thursday, I'd been looking forward to it as well.
When it came to it I was just a wee bit worried - unknown etc. I will be there next time, if invited. Jezzay, sorry for not actually at least letting you know beforehand. Don't normally no-show myself and feel incredibly guilty.
I obviously need a spank for such bad manners!
Please don't feel guilty - it's entirely understandable and you're not the only one. It's a possibilty that some of our members may be prepared to give you a spanking but before that happens I thought what we'll do next time is that us single birds meet up first. Just half an hour or so girlie chat (and a glass of wine) to get us in the mood and then the others can come. I mean turn up.
Jezzay.

I have never spanked a woman, though as my arm muscles or rather lack of make olive oyls arms look like Popeye's (and I mean the cartoon character not our friend on here from a certain Island ), even if I did they probably wouldnt notice.
A female friend offered to spank me out dogging recently but I refused as she was looking around for large branches that had dropped off the trees. I did however let her spank me from inside her car, it thwarted how hard she could do it. The only other spank I have received is from a certain party loving chap from Chesterfield
and that did nothing for me. Roll on the next one and may I be free to attend next time.

Nah, you only get spanked for lighting grail-shaped beacons...
Sorry, just couldn't resist a Python reference there...
