Book Club
Good afternoon,
The Book Group would like to add a couple of members to the Group if any Club Members are interested in joining us.
How does the Group work ?
- We meet every 6 weeks, at the Clyde Hotel, on a Sunday morning at 10.00 am.
- We aim to be finished by 11.30 am, hence we limit the numbers.
- We select a theme for each session (recent themes have included colonisation, music and space exploration) and each person discusses a book they have read that has some link to the theme.
If you’re interested in joining the Group please let me know on [email protected].
The vacant positions will be available to the first two people who indicate that they want to join.
If more are interested we will hold a waiting list in order of receipt of request.
You might also be interested in just sitting-in on a session to see how it works before you decide.
Regards
Neil Ray

Don’t forget to check the Notifications tab on our website at https://www.probussouthpacific.org/microsites/carltongardens/Welcome
The Club is providing a two-course Christmas meal + champagne at the conclusion of our next General Meeting,
but we need to know exact numbers to enable the Hotel to cater effectively.
The attached table (Xmas lunch list) shows the responses that we have received so far; great to see all that
will be there. If your name is not marked ‘yes’ then there won’t be a Christmas meal for you on that day.
We need to have final numbers by next Wednesday 29/6, so please advise Ailsa Head on [email protected] by
that date if you’re not recorded on the list as ‘yes’ and you wish to be included, or if you now cannot attend.
If there are any further enquiries about the menu, please contact Noelene on [email protected]
Good afternoon members
I remind you that if you intend to join your friends at our next Christmas In July General Meeting on 5 July and partake in a Christmas lunch, you will need to let Ailsa know: [email protected]
