- Twitter/FB page- At the moment, we seem to have a growth with the Twitter page but the Facebook page is declining slightly. But thanks for following or joining and spread the word. The Twitter page is linked to the Facebook page so you guys don't miss any news that we announce. And especially on Facebook, we have created events pages for at least 3 books on the list. But we will look into this..
- SU News- The bookclub can officially announce that today we have been ACCEPTED by the SU! This is absolutely fantastic news and we are officially recongised. I would like to thank everyone who has supported the club through this process and we hope your as happy as we are. Which leads me to another newsflash...
- Fresher's Week Stand- This was discussed at the last meeting and we understood that it was crucial to our growth. We can announce that we will be having a stand this year! Which is amazing. We are looking for people to help us, so if you're interested, then let us know but an message will be going out shortly.
- Fresher's Week- We DO need to have another meeting regarding this. In terms of what we can do with and without the stand. This meeting will have to be within the next three weeks to give the club time to prepare. However, if you have any ideas, then let us know!
- Honest Publishing- They have been in contact again and are very interested in hearing our thoughts on their work!
- Reading Group Website- As you may have show in a previous post, we are now on the Reading Groups website. We are really. They provide help to bookclubs, promote them and some very good offers. Have a look http://www.readinggroups.org/find/location/lancashire/ormskirk/5457/. And from this, we have had some positive emails from people interested in joining which is fantastic!
- Admin- We need to have a meeting soon regarding this as its important to make sure we are now meeting the SU's standards and everyone is happy with this which leads onto another subject...
- Members who cannot make meetings- We understand that some people may not be able to make meetings in the summer due to circumstances beyond our or even their own control. However, we are looking at maybe creating a forum/chatroom for all members to meet and communicate with each other but also when meetings are taking place, have the opportunity to not miss anything when the meeting is taking place. We are also looking into Skype also. But when we have our meeting about admin and Fresher's Week this will be discussed with ALL members.
- Book changes- Over the next week, we will actively asking all members on Twitter and Facebook which book they would like to see Adele Parks replaced with. We have posted a poll on our Facebook page and also on our blog as well. The choices are The Secret History by Donna Tartt, The Historian by Elizabeth Kostova and finally the Orange Prize winner The Tiger's Wife by Tea Obreht. Please make sure you vote by 5pm on Friday the 27th July. We will collect votes from the Facebook poll and our blog poll and announce the winner that evening. Get voting!!!!!
- Email Newsletter- Let us know if you want to be on the list!
- Brighton Rock Session- We have posted an event page on Facebook this week informing all members that the session on Brighton Rock will be on the 3rd August starting at 1:30pm and finishing at 3pm, meeting at Bookends as usual. However, we have also suggested that if you don't fancy doing Brighton Rock this month, then picking a book from our booklist instead. For the second option, you have until the end of next week to decide, so PLEASE let us know!
And that's about it. If you need any information, then please email us at EHU_Bookclub@hotmail.co.uk or tweet us under EHU_Bookclub or find us on Facebook under: ehu_bookclub
Hopefully see you on the 3rd August
