I've had a chat with all of the bc-ers at work today and everyone seems happy to
donate some books. What I suggested was that rather than lots of individual
trips to the pub was that we could have a collection box for the lot and
hopefully you could pick it towards the end of the week if you're in MK for
work.
Also if any MK bc-ers out there want to bring books into the library to go in
the box so they don't have to travel themselves. Maybe we could make it more
than one box then.

C'mon - bring 'em in! (make your release notes direct to The Rose and Crown,
Hartwell, Northants please)

Have they got a quiz night coming up? Perhaps you could combine that with a
bring along a load of books trip.
Otherwise I'm sure I could sort out a small-ish batch to help out, although I'm
currently not overrun with books - for a change.
Hope you get plenty of volunteers.

We emptied the books from the Rose & Crown OBCZ shelves as they had
all been read, and I took a box of books back the next day but only
filled a couple of shleves up of the 6.

I was told by the pub owner that if I couldn't refil the rest of the
shelves pretty darn quick then he will take the books there away and
not bother with the shelf anymore - so if I am to carry on I need
books quick.  Preferrably already registered and released to the pub
so they are not all from me.  Half of me says stuff it why bother, but
then again I like having them there!

If you have any books but don't want tp go in the pub on your own,
they I can take them in  - or perhaps collect some when out at work
next week.

Please help!

Enter your vote today!  A new poll has been created for the
BCMKN group:

If there's enough interest, I'm hoping to organise another meet-up at
Summersault Café in Rugby. I'm happy to organise a daytime meet, as before, or a
late afternoon/evening meet-up so we can eat, drink, swap books and chat whilst
listening to a jazz pianist. So there's a choice of dates and whether it's
daytime or an evening meet. Please vote if you're interested in coming along.
You can vote for one or more choices. The one with the most votes wins. Hope to
see you there!

   o I'd like to attend a DAYTIME meet at Summersault on Saturday 5th December.
   o I'd like to attend an EVENING meet at Summersault on Saturday 5th December.
   o I'd like to attend a DAYTIME meet at Summersault on Saturday 19th December.
   o I'd like to attend an EVENING meet at Summersault on Saturday 19th December.

Thanks!

I was wondering if anyone would be interested in attending another meet-up at
Summersault Café in Rugby in the lead-up to Christmas?

Firstly, I have two possible dates to suggest:

Saturday 5th December   OR    Saturday 19th December

I'm pretty flexible about times etc... we could either have a daytime meet like
last time, or we could meet later on, and eat our food and chat and look through
the book selection etc.., whilst listening to a jazz pianist! The evening thing
starts at 7pm but we could meet up earlier than this if people wanted, and do a
spot of shopping and have a look around the charity shops or whatever, have a
drink somewhere  perhaps, and then go on Summersault.

Please let me know if you're interested and I'll get more information from
Summersault if we do decide to do the evening thing. I noticed on their website
it says something about a sharing menu. I don't know what that is!

Here's a link to their website. This should take you straight to the calendar
part, where I got the details of the jazz piano thing.

http://www.summersault.ltd.uk/Calendar.htm

I'll set up a poll and, depending on interest, I'll get started on arranging the
meet. Hoope to see you there :-)

It was a lovely day, and really nice to see everyone. Must do it all again soon.
Perhaps another meet at Rugby's Summersault Café if there's enough interest?

I got a wild catch from the release walk on Saturday. Someone was riding through
the forest on horseback, saw a few books there and picked one up. They have now
joined bookcrossing.com!

My book originally but released by Korky on Saturday!  It's one that
was in the pub for a while so great to see it moving on.

Hear hear, it was a lovely day and how lucky were we with the weather?! I
thoroughly enjoyed it and was glad to see we weren't prevented from releasing in
the end. It was also great to see some new faces plus plenty of animals and
infants!

Well I had hoped to be at Salcey today but unfortumately DH my chauffeur has had
a chrones flare up and taken to his bed. Hopefully I'll make the Rugby meet in
December. At least you have a nice sunny day for it. Enjoy yourselves.

A message for all planning to attend tomorrows Salcey Forest meet. As we always
get more books released than could possibly fill the OBCZ and sometimes even
more than we need for a release walk I was hoping folks might make their
releases to a couple of alternate locations then still bring them along to be
taken to their new home.
Today Weebly and I completely cleared the old stuff from The Rose and Crown OBCZ
in Hartwell as a lot of it had been sitting for some time, so it now needs
refilling.
So if you could make some of your releases to The Rose and Crown we'll have
boxes ready and everyone can still have a rummage if there's something they
particularly want to take home. Also releases for MK Library are always welcome,
will have a box for that too.

See you tomorrow,
Kathy/ Korky

Risk assessments? INSURANCE? For a WALK AROUND A FOREST?!?! What world do these
people live in? Salcey meets have always gone off fantastically and without a
hitch, until some unbalanced individual decided to stick his nose in. I can't
believe how ridiculous this is getting.

Still trying to figure out what risks are posed to us by a release walk.
Drowning in a puddle? Slipping on a book? Good grief.

See you on the 7th! Bookcrossers and proud!
