The Meeting
Enjoy reading? Want to share your thoughts about books or just listen to other people’s opinions? Then why not join us, new members are always welcome.
We meet on the third Wednesday of every month in The Visitors' Centre function room (or occasionally in the Goldings Room) of The Vat & Fiddle Pub, close to Nottingham train station. Both rooms are through the door to the left of the bar so easy to find, but if in doubt the bar staff will be happy to point you in the right direction.
The discussion usually lasts about an hour and a half after which many members stay on for a drink and a chat in the bar.

Room Hire
The pub charges us £10 a time for room hire so we collect £1 cash per person per session to cover the cost of this. Newbies go free on their first event but otherwise if you turn up we will assume you're happy to chip in.
2025 July To December Book Selection
The votes are in, thanks to all those who nominated and voted.
Booker prize winners were the preferred choice for Christmas.
We had a draw for fifth place, so have decided to include all 6 books, moving the Booker prize winner Orbital to December.
Please let Gy know if you can't make the session of your nominated book, so that he can re-arrange where possible.
