The Cheltenham Trust is launching a new heritage trail and exhibition today celebrating the lesser known history and stories of the town from its Anglo Saxon origins to the stampeding elephant and first parachute ascent/descent. The launch event is today at The Wilson from 11.30am. Free to attend and includes a hot drink and cake for those attending, so worth popping in should you be in town today. It will be ideal for a Book Club Extra and we will look at getting a date in the diary.

CBBC's June meeting is this Thursday (11th) at My Coffee on the Bath Road (upstairs room) 7-9pm. No set book to read beforehand, just bring along any book of your choosing to give a short review, take questions and discuss. No fee to pay to attend, just buy a drink as you come in (tea/coffee/wine/beer) to bring upstairs with you. No commitment to come to every or most meetings, just when you want to hear about lots of books that may spark your interest to something different from your normal genre (s) or learn about an author you had not heard of before. All welcome.

Hot night at Best Book Club with a lovely crowd and lots of recommendations. Perhaps one for "review of the year" (I my book anyway - pun intended) and a request for a book club extra so a walk is planned (see separate post). All round a great night and we finished on time!

My theme was "Don't judge a book by its cover" as my reviews were for books given to my daughter and wife...both did not hit the mark...at least the soft p**n was read by the wife! Welcome to Sally to the Best Book Club!

CBBC's Race Across The World (new competition) - Send us a photograph of a book that you are reading in a location that is relevant to the book in some way (UK or abroad). You may well earn yourself a much coveted CBBC certificate at the end of the rear.
First entry is of Treasure Island outside The Hole in the Wall pub in Bristol. Originally called the Coach and Horses, it is now named after the spy hole that it had so that occupants could look out for the Royal Navy and ship owners searching the area to 'press gang' men into signing up for long sea voyages to America and the Caribbean. Robert Louis Stevenson is reputed to have stayed here for two months whilst writing Treasure Island using local people and locations for inspiration for the novel's characters and settings

Read on to discover who made most of the group wince as reading matter was pulled apart!
