A much needed update

So much as gone on with the club, we feel that we need to update you!


Firstly, we are sad to say that one of the leading founders of the Bookclub is off to pasters new to New Zealand to finish off the final year of her undergraduate degree. But she has left the following statement:-


'I would like to officially announce that I have been offered the opportunity to complete the third year of my degree in New Zealand. I'm very shocked yet happy that this has happened.
But this sadly leaves me to announce that I will be stepping down organising the club in order to take this opportunity. But do not fear! The Bookclub will still continue under the hands of an amazing co-founder who I believe will continue to make progression and progress with the bookclub. And she will do an amazing job.
I would like to thank every single person who has helped or has been involved with setting up the Bookclub and getting it into the position it is now. We've proven to people that there is a need for it and we will continue in every way we can to keep the Bookclub.'


Many thanks Emz x'


I'm sure on behalf of everyone who is involved at EHU_Bookclub would like to wish Emz the best of the luck with the degree and hopes it'll be a successful year.


Now for more news:-


  • Growth of the Twitter page and FB page- We have recieved huge responses from both pages. We would like to thank everyone for joining us or staying with us and thanks for spreading the word!
  • Posters- We have a few people interested in the posters and many thanks to everyone who expressed an interest. Hopefully, we will have some posters by the next session to look at!
  • English and History department- Over the next coming months, we will be contacting the tutors in the English and History department to spread the word about the Bookclub. And also in Septmeber, the new Freshers will be here and hopefully the Bookclub will attract some new members and help people feel comfortable about being an new student at EHU.
  • SU- We have contacted the SU on campus to see if they can help in way promote the club. We're just awaiting a reply!
  • Next Session- The next session is on the 20th May at 5pm, meeting at BookEnds in the Library. The book we will be discussing is 'One Day' By David Nicholls. This book surprised many critics last year and also this year and was awarded an National Galaxy Book Award. Leading the session will be Sarah who will provide questions and some material to help the discussion and we will be posting our findings on the blog for people to see and track the development of the club.
We hope to see you at our next session. If you have any questions about how to join the Bookclub, you can find us on FB under: ehu_bookclub, on Twitter: EHU_Bookclub or email us EHU_Bookclub@hotmail.co.uk. Everyone is welcome and there may be cake!!
