December 2007

>>> From January 2008, Group 2 will be in the capable hands of Elke as, to be honest, I'm finding it's a bit too hectic to make it to both meetings every month, plus reading two bookclub books, plus oh you know, bringing up my son / looking after the dog / occasionally spending a bit of time with my dh ;-)
I shall still be coming along whenever I can though, and all the group information will still be found here on the website. Elke will be in charge of running the meetings, making sure there's enough to read for the coming months, any date changes necessary etc etc. Elke and I will mail everyone in Group 2 with more details asap.

>>> As soon as I manage to get it up and running (hopefully over Christmas), there will be an intergrated amazon aStore on this website. As an amazon.de partner, the SBC (ie me!) gets a small percentage of all books bought through the links, which goes a little way to helping with costs for organising the groups and running this website. Just so you know, so far this year €22.59 has been generated (so not quite enough for me to retire on just yet). However, I'd really appreciate it if when you did buy anything at amazon, you bought it over our new aStore. Thanks guys :-)

>>> I'm sure you'll have noticed the information on the start page about the SBC starting a third group. Well, it's really happening! Group 3 will have its first meeting on Tuesday 22nd January 2008, and anyone who'd still like to join can do so, just email me and I'll give you all the info.
