The 2010 reading groups commence in the first full week of February. Each month there are five sessions – 9.30am on Monday mornings, 7.00pm on Monday evenings, 7.00pm Wednesday evenings, 2.30pm on Friday afternoons and 2pm on Saturday afternoon. These sessions will be held in the first (full) week of each month. The discussions generally run between one and a half to two hours and take place in the Afterword Café at Fullers. The exception in 2010 is April – because of Easter.
Explore poetry using Paul Muldoon’s Oxford Lectures in Poetry as we discuss Hughes, Frost, Bishop, Pessoa, Montale and others. This is a 15 week shared reading with Hugo McCann, beginning Tuesday 2nd March at 7pm. The cost is $125.00. For more information please contact Ali at Fullers Bookshop.

To Prospective Reading Group Members Thank you for your interest in our Reading Groups at The Afterword Café at Fullers. There are four book discussion group meetings each month (with the exception of December and January). As a member of a book discussion group you will need to read the book chosen for the month’s discussion. Before you come to a discussion, please let us know which group you plan to attend. While it is our intention to be as flexible as possible, we do need to know which of the groups best suits your schedule. We would prefer that groups be limited to 10 people each. The discussions generally run between one and a half to two hours and take place in the Afterword Café at Fullers. There are no joining costs – the only costs are the cost of the book which we ask you to purchase at Fullers and the cost of refreshments from the Café. And, finally, these are discussion groups – there are no papers and you do not have to contribute to the conversation if you do not want to – just listening is fine. Please let me know if you would like to come to one of our discussions.
