Hi Ive been thinking for a while now about starting a monthly meet for people to swap books. After falling over another carrier bag of her indoors used book collection and her moaning about reading books twice. I feel that our household isnt the only one out here with advid readers like my wife. I know the monthly carboot sale has a few vendors selling books, but I feel the opportunity to swap sell echange books only  in a  accesible pleasant covered surrounding like a restuaraunt  a mid week  dinner time or evening may prove popular,now the darknights are closing in .

Im looking for support to organise such a night soon say, late September early October, but require a little feedback and intentions of attendance to make it worth while. I have an idea fora Location but welcome suggestions on this front as well. Whilst many have interent connections alot do not,so if you have a collection of used books you wish to sell or exchange and friends not online, in the same dispostion run this past them and see if they are willing to make it a good turn out . There will be no table fees or set up costs just a friendly swap club .

I have a restuarant near me  called Crell dell Coll situated on the T331  very easy to find is actually next to the road midway between Tortosa and Ulldecona near the villiage of Freginals with a good large car park . They do a menu del dia for 10 euros and is very popular. This is my  suggested loacation.

Please respond  if you would be interested in attending such an event with preferences on  time,location, how many friends you are bringing and a rough idea on books that you will bring, no books no swap. I am aware that my wife could easily bring 50 books and her friend a similar amount so thats 2 people 100 books for starters,drop me a line, thanks for looking and dont forget to tell your friends not on line !

Will have to check with my partner and count up the books. Will get back to you.

Regards,

Snowhite

Sounds a good idea....got a few books we could swap, and always looking for something new to read.

Hiya

There are 3 of us  in the Tortosa area who would love to come along to book swap get togethers.  we have quite a few books between us and are always on the look out for new books.  Another friend in El Perrello is also interested.  Just let us know when and where.
thanks

Same here. I've got plenty of books to swap. Its also a good way to meet new people in the area. I like the sound of the restaurant. Just tell us when.

Sounds a really good idea - count me in!

Thanks for all your replies the initial response is encouraging, please if you think you will come when I finalise a date just drop a note on here to give me an idea, I will speak with the restauraunt owner soon and pick a midweek dinner time  venue so menu del dia will be available   and try and give 3/4 weeks notice, they have a reasonable outside covered area with 4 or five tables as well as area in doors, keep the replies coming. Ill keep you updated.  

I think I would like to have a go at this. we still have thirty seven boxes of books in the garage!

:)  good idea....count me in....

Hi N

Count me in, I have a couple of boxes of books to get rid of.

cheers G

Any idea when the book club is starting up? Theres not been anything mentioned about it for a while.

My apologise give me a couple of weeks and I will come back with a date and venue, for late late March when the weather is slightly more predictable !

Can I bring my magazines?
They re second hand, but i ve got some good ones!

Live and let Live, except Top Shelf stuff....nothing against them but secondhand ????......no seriously no problem :o

Shall we just say "nothing that is stuck together" and leave it at that ?

I'll swap my book of 'Italian war heroes 1939 to present day' for any book on famous Belgian people.

That seems a fair swap both are very rare and hard to find, would you cosider My Short Story The whole truth and nothing but the truth,by Tony Blair or How to be a Successful Market Trader by Jerome Kerviel (forward by Nick Leeson),just released first edition.  ;D

Nobby.

I suppose my October edition of Womans Own,is out of the question?
Great article on 101 things to do with Belgian chocolate!
Yes, I guess the pages are a bit sticky ;)

Yes .Debbie 'M    love Women s'Own ,where do you get your english mags from ?  or' we could maybe do a swap ,how about a jar of marmalade.

hi Tinks ;)

Thought about making some marmade yesterday!
Had a lovely afternoon,sitting in the sunshine,eating chocolate cake, instead.  :)

Okay, You guys I know I have only recently joined, and am playing catch - up here, but did this ever get off the ground?

I can´t see it in the thread.
