Hello,


I'm looking for an evening book club in either East Dulwich or the surrounding areas (Peckham, Brixton, Herne Hill etc). I'm 27yrs old, so looking for an evening book club which can often been accompanied with a glass of wine and a side of humour.

If anyone has any recommendations, please let me know :)


Thanks,


Sophie

This fantastic series [surely deserved a third season!] should get you in the mood

Both Radio 2 and 4 have book clubs:

Even the World Service has one:

Here is a warning against the evils of booze and book clubs; as ED residents are well known for their love of grog, I doubt this piece's findings will have any real effect!

Would post more from other sites, but am on the bus. Good luck with the club, maybe do a podcast or at least a blog with twitter/hipstergram account to share thoughts on what you are reading?

Thanks for posting the link to our site. I run the East Dulwich WI Bookclub with Kirsten Ing.


We currently have a great age cross section - from late 20s to 60s and we combine our club with having a curry and a great chat! We currently have 11 members with roughly 7 to 8 attending each event.


We do accept non WI members in or Bookclub so please do feel free to message me if you are interested in getting involved.


We choose books democratically 2 months in advance to give everyone plenty of chance to fit in reading around schedules.


All of our dates and details are on the website including reviews of our last few books. Please do follow the East Dulwich WI on Facebook or Twitter to keep up to date with all of our posts.

Edited to add: Please do feel free to drop me a line if you'd like any advice about setting up or running a new book club, there are certainly some things we have figured out over the years that we could pass on :)

    • And so an update, a message saying I had a telephone appt which they then changed to a double to deal with two issues at once. From originally booking to the appt has been four weeks, so disappointed, but appt booked in. 
    • Yes, it wasn't exactly Lewes, he lived in a tiny place near Ditchling Beacon while he was running Hoopers  (maybe  he moved to Lewes after Hoopers closed?) Near enough Lewes, though! I can't remember what the place was called, or even if it had a name, there were only a few houses. Which was very weird, because I lived in Ditchling for a time many many moons ago, and I drove up the  tiny road which passed near  those houses every day on my way to work in  Stanmer Park (at that time the local college horticulture department was based there). It was a short cut to the park, and there was a locked gate halfway down the road, which I had a key to. No idea if things have changed now, it was a very long time ago. Very small world indeed. We only found out because  at Jamie's request we put on music in Hoopers for a time (including Wizz Jones), so we got to know him. ETA: Very sorry Lulark (and Admin), this has no relevance at all to your post.
    • Still remember the time shortly after I moved to Lewes and bumped into Jamie Hooper - turns out he had been living in Lewes the whole time he ran the pub in London    
    • Found the thread:  Since that time The Gowlett closed and then reopened with a refurbishment and I believe under new owners.
