Our book group based in Reading Berkshire has now been going for almost four years. We are always open to new members. So if you're local and love reading, come along! We normally meet once a month on the last Tuesday of the month. Come to laugh, share stories and make new friends!

From Austen to Zola, by way of PG Wodehouse, George Orwell, Nancy Mitford, Bram Stoker, Ian Fleming, Roald Dahl, Daniel Defoe, John Updike, Muriel Spark, Angela Carter and PD James...anything you flipping well like! We are a group which celebrates classic fiction, not self-published novels. Discussions take place once a month. Lots of talking, recommending, swapping books and being opinionated.

We are a small and friendly book group that meets once a month in central Cheltenham.    Our aim is to read different types of books and welcome suggestions from members.  You also don't have to have finished or like the book to attend. There is also a £2 fee per person per meet up which will be collected on the night.  This funds the running of the website.

The first part of the session would be an interactive workshop/tuition session covering such things as plot development, character assassination and wri …

We're a friendly gaming group in the Surrey/Hampshire Borders We meet regularly to play games in Aldershot, Godalming and Blackheath (near Guildford, not the London one!)

Do you want to watch scifi, fantasy and comic based films with people who have been bursting for the film to come out for months on end, just like you? Do you consider a big part of film watching enjoyment the discussion immediately after about how accurate/realistic/well adapted the film was? (Even if it's just on IMDB?) Let's face it, sometimes our loved ones just don't get what makes X-men, Hobbits, Spock or Whedon so awesome. You could persuade them to watch it with you then spend the time …

I have initiated this meet up, as I notice that some people in London have started a similar group, and I like the sound of it! The purpose will be for people who write poems, or short stories, to come along to an Oxford restaurant, and share there outpourings, with a view to entertain, and also be entertained by fellow diners. You may just have a funny story to share, fictional or true with the rest of the group. If you just want to come along and hopefully be entertained, again that is absolut …
