September Meeting Thanks

Just a quick note of thanks to everyone who turned up for the September meeting. A spirited discussion about Edward W Said's Culture and Imperialism seemed to be enjoyed by all.

First meeting details and mailing list

The first meeting at the Itchy Chin Club will be on Tuesday the 26th of August at the Candid Arts Trust cafe in Angel Islington. It's located on the second floor of the Candid Arts Trust studio building on Torrens Street behind Angel tube. There's sign outside the door on the street and from there you go up two flights of stairs and turn right. I plan to arrive about 6PM to grab the sofas down the back and expect people to start arriving 6:30ish and things to get going around 7PM.

The cafe does nice, veggie-friendly no frills food with mains in the £7-9 range. They only sell wine and beer with meals, but seem happy for everyone to share an open bottle.

I've also started the discussion list for deciding on the next book and making arrangements for futire meetings. If you'd like to join please send a mail with the subject subscribe to itchychinclub-request@goop.org (or to myself).
