The North London Reading Group is holding a belated literary Christmas Party on Sat 28 January — to help banish the January blues. And as it'll be (almost) Australia Day, how better to cheer up than to head Down Under?
It'll be a ripper Antipodean-themed night with plenty of literary liveliness. We'll also be making sure there is plenty of time to meet new like-minded friends for 2012 and swap books — and putting on plenty of pub nibbles and cake!
T.D. Griggs will be reading an Australian short story and some 'Aussie Doggerel' for us — and giving a sneak preview of upcoming novel Distant Thunder |
Rousing poetry set to live music from LiTTLe MaCHiNe |
Australian prize quiz* |
Book swapping & socialising |
Literary couples competition |
Pub grub and cake |
*Warning: may contain Kylie & Jason as well as Thomas Keneally
We'll be 'aussifying' The Queen's Head in King's Cross — one of our favourite pubs with lovingly selected wines, whiskies and amber nectars.
66 Acton Street, London, WC1X 9NB. Tube: King's Cross See a map
See you there from 7PM (and for those brave enough to join us in donning beachwear, there will be prizes...)
