Cambridge International Friends

Let's meet up and have a pleasant afternoon with other bookfriendly humans. No common book, just bring whatever you've been reading and join us for some communal reading time. If instead you prefer to do artwork, painting, crocheting, crafts etc then that's totally welcome too!

Remember to pack headphones with you in case surrounding noise becomes an issue.

Silent Book Club is a global community of readers and introverts, with 300 chapters around the world led by local volunteers. SBC members gather in person and online to read together in quiet camaraderie.

Silent Book Club started in 2012 with a couple of friends—Guinevere de la Mare and Laura Gluhanich—reading in companionable silence at our neighborhood bar in San Francisco. We loved books, and reading with friends, but most of our previous attempts at book clubs had fizzled out.
Often with traditional book clubs there's the scramble to finish the assigned book, and the pressure to have something smart to say. Wouldn't it be great to have a book club where you could just enjoy books, friends, and wine—without any homework? At Silent Book Club, there's no assigned reading.

We started Silent Book Club because reading with friends enriches our lives and makes us happy. We love hearing about what people are reading (often in their other book clubs) and we think it's important to put down our phones and be social. Real, live, breathing-the-same-air social, not hearting-you-on-Instagram social.

Silent Book Club is about community. Everyone is welcome, and anyone can join or launch a chapter. We encourage people all over the world to start their own Silent Book Clubs. All you need is a friend, a café, and a book. We have active chapters around the world in cities of all sizes, and new chapters are being launched by volunteers every week.

Join us for our weekly meetup!

If you're up for some drinks, food, and great conversation, we'd love to have you join us.

Please sign up only if you're sure you can attend, and kindly respect the RSVP list.

If you sign up and don't show up without updating your RSVP, you'll be moved to the waiting list for future events.

Looking forward to seeing you there! :)

Hey everyone,
This is our monthly International friends meetup.
Let's get together and chat about traveling, living in different countries and anything else you want to talk about.

Considering the number of people, we will be getting back to.. Revolution!

Revolution is one of the clubs Cambridge has to offer, so this will not be a quiet night out! They will start charging entrance fee I think around 21:00. And checking IDs so make sure you have one.

Buut before that, they will have Happy Hour until 21:00(or later), and last time we had the rooftop area to ourselves, so it's a good spot even if you are not into clubbing, at least until later in the evening!
(Please be aware this may not always work like this, and it gets packed as well)

I would recommend, especially for newer people to show up earlier rather than later, when it will harder to separate our group from the rest of the party people :)

Please update your RSVPs accordingly. Meetup is simple.. If you are on the Attendees list I expect you to show up, and if you are not, don't!
I know it's a night out event, still any inappropriate behavior or harassing of any kind will not be tolerated.

Keep an eye on the comments as you arrive, in case there are any changes. I will post where exactly we will be!

Hope to see you there!

Also please note there is a £5 yearly member fee to cover the admin meetup cost. I am not going to chase anyone, I feel this is each and every one's responsibility to keep the group going.
