Need 10 members for Book Club

cleopatra101 · 2019-10-04T06:58:38+02:00

This is not your regular book club. This is wine, food and literary excellence. I need 10 members. #mauritiusmustread #bookclub #literaryconnect

@Kandia_A

Hi!

I'm totally interested and would love to meet up or help plan / organize. I've been in several book clubs and I love the idea. Please keep me posted as to where / when and if anyone needs help organizing I'm in. Thanks! - Jeff

Welcome Kandia! It is nice to meet you:)

Would everyone like to meet on Saturday, the 11th of June? Any ideas on where we could meet? Commonground Sparc Health Kitchen in Flic en Flac might be a good place, it has got a good view of Le Morne and the food is decent.

@Kalpana89

How about setting up a WhatsApp group for the Club members?

@Chandradeep, that's a good idea! I think we can't exchange numbers directly on the forum, but if anyone wants to join a WhatsApp group for the Book Club, please direct message me with your number and I'll create a group.

@cleopatra101

Hi Cleopatra,

I'm interested. When is the first meeting? If you've already got ten people, would you consider welcoming a few more more just to get started?

Hey all,

Let's try and make this happen!! Shall we pick a date, place and time the majority can do and take it from there?

Date: I'm guessing a weekend is better than weekday. What about Sat 25th or Sun 26th June?

Place: Someone mentioned Les Allysees in Moka Smart City which conveniently works for me, but happy to hear other suggestions.

Time: What time works for everyone for the first meet up? Morning, lunch or evening? I vote for lunch time, around midday.

Looking forward to making this happen!

Hi @Kalpana89, the 11th of June is almost upon us. Have you had any responses? Should we just start with the two of us?

@Kalpana89

Hello, did you all meet up to discuss the book club? I hope to be living in The West of Mauritius in August, could I find out more?

Kalpana89Member24 June 2022 11:56:06

#54

@pixiewhyte Hi Pixiewhyte, no we haven't met up yet. If you DM me your number, I can set up a whatsapp group. In fact, can anyone else who is interested in joining the book club please DM me your numbers so I can set up a whatsapp group? It'll be easier to coordinate that way.

Kalpana89Member24 June 2022 12:33:19

#55

@Seven-oh - I don't know why I missed all the previous responses on this forum, I only received notification of Pixiewhyte's message. Do you want to private message me your number? I have Kandia's number as well, so maybe at least the three of us can start with the book club.

Hi all, I have spoken to Kandia and we have set up a doodle poll to see when everyone is available. The slots suggested are during the weekend, at 12pm. I have suggested that we meet at Flying Dodo in Bagatelle mall. Please click the link before to indicate your preference. Please let me know if the link is not working:

Hi All,

It seems a lot of people are interested in joining the book club which is great! But @Kalpana89 and I haven't had many responses to arrange the first meet up (thanks to those who have responded).

We'd love for as many as people as possible to join, so if you're still interested please let us know your availability here:

[link moderated]

At the moment, Sunday 24th July is the clear winner, but that may change if more people vote for their preferred date

So get voting people!!

NazninmkNew member30 June 2022 14:32:00

#63

Shall we start a book club as there a lot of us that responded. Shall we set up a group email and then we can make plans to meet up. I live in the North.

Naznin

Ok so my email is [link moderated]

I can set up a group email and a group whats app. Whoever is here can meet up and we do zoom at the same time so members who are abroad can join in. We can bring or send suggestions and then vote the books in? That is how my friends do it in Portugal but the meet very late at 7.30 pm is my 10.30 pm so I am not able to sig through it from 10.30pm to 12.30 am

What time and which day? It could be a Saturday like 11 am?
