NCCS Fiction Book Group - Christmas Social & Quiz 2024!

This month we are having a Christmas social, so there is no required reading! Come for some drinks and snacks and chat! Please note the earlier start time of 7pm.

***

Book Quiz
We will be running a book quiz in teams to be organised on the night. The prize? The winning team get to select a reading book for the month of June 2025... bypassing our usual voting system! If you want to arrange teams in advance we advise teams of 3 or 4, but may have to adjust on the night depending on attendees.

***

Secret Santa
Secret Santa will put in an appearance again this year. If you want to join in find a book that you think someone might like or find amusing. It might be a charity shop purchase or maybe a hated gift that you can't wait to get rid of. Wrap it up festively and then we'll put all the contributions in a sack and pick them lucky dip-style on the night.

The Meeting
Enjoy reading? Want to share your thoughts about books or just listen to other people’s opinions? Then why not join us, new members are always welcome.
We meet on the third Wednesday of every month in The Visitors' Centre function room (or occasionally in the Goldings Room) of The Vat & Fiddle Pub, close to Nottingham train station. Both rooms are through the door to the left of the bar so easy to find, but if in doubt the bar staff will be happy to point you in the right direction.
The discussion usually lasts about an hour and a half after which many members stay on for a drink and a chat in the bar.

***

Room Hire
The pub charges us £10 a time for room hire so we collect £1 cash per person per session to cover the cost of this. Newbies go free on their first event but otherwise if you turn up we will assume you're happy to chip in.
