What the Dickens?

We are arranging a trip to 'Dickens World', a theme park in Kent devoted to the most popular novelist of the Victorian era.

We are not quite sure whether it will be wonderful, horrendous or surreal. But it will be a lot of fun finding out.

We'll be visiting the park, having lunch and possibly hiring a guide to give us the lowdown on an aspect of the great man's work.

After going on the Great Expectations log flume (no joke) we may retire to a local hostelry to also discuss one of his shorter tomes such as his unfinished The Mystery of Edwin Drood.

Entry should be under a tenner, and the trip will take place on either:

* Sun 27 September
* Sat 3 or Sun 4 October
* Sat 28 or Sun 29 November

Please join us - whether you are in a reading group or looking to join a group. If we have enough people looking to join a group, we'll try and kick off a new reading group on the day.

If you want to come, or just know more, please get in touch by Wed 9 Sept and let us know which dates you can make.
