“ hi one and all! I have just recently moved into the centre of leeds and i was wondering if there was any sort of club going for people like me who like a good read, and who also like to occasionally write too. I'm an avid film fan too! ”

“ Hello!! ”

“ Interested in getting some groups going in the Peterlee/Sunderland area, as Newcastle is too far with no transport!! Interests include reading, socialising, eating out and film/music. ”

“ Hi everyone. I have just moved to Leeds. I hope I will have a great time being around people like you. Please be patient with me as I cannot make any promises yet. See you soon. Andrew Kamara ”

“ I did a year of Turkish night classes a while back and would like to try and get back into talking the language before I forget it all again. Also into photography, hill walking, Japanese, cooking - oh you get the picture... ”

“ Hi I'm Sara and I've wanted to join a book club for ages but can't find any locally. ”

“ I've signed up for a lot of possible meet ups - languages (not had a lot of luck getting on to nightclasses) so I really need to find some nice person who wants to teach me! Plus it's just fun meeting new people and trying something different. ”

“ I just want to do more stuff. ”

“ Hi! I'm into books, films, eating out and travel and am looking for like-minded people to share the fun! ”

“ I want local Book Club Meetups because I was a member of a readers group in Leeds and enjoyed it because it encouraged me to read more books. The discussions were interesting - particularly where there were differences of opinion. ”
