We're slowly making our way through the Guardian's list of 1000 novels everyone must read, which covers novels about love, crime, comedy, family and self, state of the nation, science fiction and fantasy, and war and travel.  We work our way through the categories each month, and invite members to nominate books from the list. Once nominations have been received, all members vote for their choice. The book club is for people living in and around Chiswick, as well as those who don't mind travelli …

Girly Gatherings is a group of women in their 20s and 30s who live or work in and around the Reading/Berkshire area.

Although called Caversham Critics, this book group is open to all friendly Reading based fiction lovers. We shall explore old and modern classics, contemporary fiction, and perhaps even pretend to be judges by comparing our notes on the shortlists for the big literary prizes.

Been having a wander around this site and noticed that living in Esher, there are not many groups around the area for people who just want to have a kick around. So with that in mind I thought I would put some feelers out to see how many gents or ladies of any ability or age would be interested in joining a group to meet new people and play a game of non-aggressive footy and just plain and simply have a laugh. The games will be played around the Esher, Walton, Surbiton, Cobham areas, although I …

London Non-Fiction Books & Brunch Club While we can all give thanks to Grazia magazine for honing our WAG spotting talents and keeping us updated every time Cheryl Cole leaves the house with lipstick on her teeth, for those of us who also enjoy reading non-fiction books, it can be hard to find the right book club outlet. The purpose of this book club is to provide a relaxed, fun and social environment for women who enjoy reading non-fiction. Ideally, members will be: - between 28-38; - intereste …

I think it's about time that Wimbledon Village had its own book club. What I have in mind is a group that comes together to discuss books, probably mostly fiction but with a little other stuff thrown into the mix and meeting over coffee, or food, or drinks in a local cafe, restaurant or bar. There may be the occasional 'other event' like a 'meet the author' or a theatre trip, but with books and friendly discussion at the core. At great way to make new friends or cement friendships too. If you'd …

This group is for local people who want to enjoy activites locally, as well as further afield. If there is something you want to try, an event you want to go to or something you've always wanted to learn then suggest a meetup and take part with a group of likeminded people. Equally, if you just want to get out more, and like me have found that your friends now just seem to want to stay in all the time, then just suggest a meetup at your favourite local restaurant or bar. I would hope that this g …
