Another No book Book Club Meeting

The No book Book Club Meeting originated as an Interim Meeting of the regular book club. From time to time the subject had come up that it would be desirable to have the Book Club get togethers more frequently than the 6 to 8 week intervals that they are at now. However, since it takes time to read a book (especially the more difficult ones) that just doesn't work out. As a result, we have been having a mid-way No book Book Club meeting where we discussed more general topics that the members are interested in.
Originally it had been envisioned to be something like a modern version of the French Salon Discussion Groups from the Age of Enlightenment. As such, it would be not only for intellectual exchange, but also as a platform for social networking. The reality is that that is probably a little grandiose and it perhaps is really just a Pub Night. Hahaha.
Sometimes it is a forum for intellectual exchange but other times it is just a fun get together where the members engage in conversations about almost anything. We have discussed travel experiences and hobbies as well as discussed topics such as meeting new people or profound experiences that have had a significant impact on their lives. There has recently been some confusion by individuals who thought of this meeting as only a Pub Night so just to clarify the format, I would suggest that it is more of French Salon than a Western Saloon.
So, once again, another No book Book Club Meeting would now be in order. The next meeting of the Saskatoon Book Club For Non Fiction Books - Coffee/Bar Group will not be reading a specific book and then discussing it; instead, we will be getting together to discuss more general topics that the members find of interest (and to have some fun).
We will be meeting on Tuesday, May 27, 2025 at 7:30 PM at The Thirsty Scholar for these discussions.
I hope you can make it to this meetup on May 27th. If you are planning to attend, but haven’t yet RSVPed “Yes” for this Meetup, then I would appreciate if you could click the “Attend” button to let us know how many seats to save.
I look forward to seeing you then,
Thomas
PS I’m thinking that we will do something a little different for this get-together. Instead of starting the meeting with a few brief presentations that we would start by going around the table and having everyone make a suggestion about things that they would like to talk about or learn about. We would then vote on the topics and come up with a few items that we would discuss.
