Calling all **Punch and Judy** fans. Join me for a day at the [puppet festival](https://alternativearts.org.uk/events/covent-garden-may-fayre-puppet-festival) in Covent Garden. This is an annual festival that takes place in the yard of St Paul’s church. There will be music and folk dancing and small market stalls. There may be a chance for celebrity spotting, too, people as well as puppets. It will be pretty crowded and I am therefore limiting attendance to 10 only. We may still not be able to all stay together but we will assess that on the day. The event is free but the performers are asking for donations, please bring some change therefore just in case. Because we only have 10 places available here, please only sign up if you are intending to attend. Remember that no-shows and late cancellations may result in you being removed from the group. The [Festival Website](https://alternativearts.org.uk/events/covent-garden-may-fayre-puppet-festival) promises refreshments and I hope that means we can grab lunch while there because unfortunately, it is impossible to book a restaurant in that area that day. We will therefore have to wing it a little. If there are no food trucks, I am planning to go to the Transport Museum Café for lunch but we may not get a seat, so please feel free to bring a packed lunch/ snacks just in case. The usual £1.50 non-refundable maintenance fee applies and meetup will charge £0.60 pn top of that. Participating in this event will be at your own risk. Also, we will meet at Covent Garden Underground Station. I will be opposite the Station Exit with a meet-up sign. I am usually easy to spot as I am always early. I know we are meeting really early, but please try to be on time as the event can get crowdy. I am going to move on from the meeting point at 12pm. You may not be able to find us once we are on thee move. Also, please remember to change your RSVP at least 4 days before theis event to allows others to join. Late cancellations and no-Shows may get you removed from the group.

In our first meeting of May, we discuss Brandon Taylor's *Real Life.* Shortlisted for the Booker Prize in 2020, the novel was the much-lauded debut for the Alabama-born writer. 'Deftly zooming in and out of focus, *Real Life* is a deeply affecting story about the emotional cost of reckoning with desire, and overcoming pain.' (Book jacket) 'A campus novel told from the perspective of a Black student, Taylor’s powerful tale embraces themes of grief, desire and alienation in rich, eloquent prose.' -Waterstones https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/46263943-real-life We will discuss the Real Life in the Real Greek - Bankside. So come along for some tasty Greek fare on a Sunday afternoon as we dive into this fascinating premier. N.B.
