OCTOBER MEETING UPDATE

Hullo again.

Thanks to everyone who made it along on Wednesday 1st October. Thank you to everyone who let me know that school holidays made it too difficult to juggle the meeting and manage children as well. We'll catch up in November.

Now that everyone is back at school we can get back to our routines and reading quietly over a cuppa (my idea of heaven-on-earth).

October's book was "One Book: Many Brisbanes", a collection of short stories about Brisbane, by Brisbane writers and everyone shared their thoughts on their favourite stories. I had some favourites and I had some that saddened me, particularly the story set in Zillmere WWII. It was great to sit down and share my thoughts and learn something from everyone else about their experiences of Brisbane and how they felt the stories related to them, or how the stories were far removed from their lives.

Revisiting the stories that I hadn't enjoyed so much, through the eyes of those of you who had enjoyed them, gave enabled me to find renewed interest in them. Thank you to everyone for your candour about your loves, likes, and dislikes.

November Meeting Information
Our next meetings are on November 5th for Morning Tea at 10:30am and Dinner at 7:00pm. Please remember bookings are ESSENTIAL for Dinner. Please contact either the Resturant (leave your name and contact number and say that you're booking for the Kenmore Book Club dinner, or send me an email at kenmorebookclub@y7mail.com). Bookings for morning tea are desirable as I can print off enough copies of information for everyone.

Best regards to you all, and happy reading.
