Okay, thanks Marie.  I'll give it a go ...

I'm in Hertford as are 3 other active RISI swappers I know including my mother. Would be great to find a book group or start one up.

I can get to Stevenage too... but not having a car it gets difficult, often I end up in London. 

I can get to Stevenage, too -- any takers for a group?

I popped into the Borders in Watford last week. They are starting a new book club, the first meeting is Tuesday 15th July at 7pm, and the fisrt book is A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khlaled Hosseini. They also have a meeting earlier in the day, but for those who have babies and small children, same book etc, just a more baby-friendly time. Sorry, I didn't make a note of what the earlier time is i'm afraid. Just thought i'd let you all know in case you were interested.

Thank you so much for telling us -- will see if I can get there.

Hi Everyone. I went to the book group last night, and just to let you know, the next group is on Tuesday 12th August, and the next book is The Book Thief. They are also doing a Crime book group. The first meeting is next Tuesday 22nd July, and the book is "Devil May Care" by Sebastian Faulks. If you join you get a card for 10% off in starbucks on book group days, which is nice, and 20% off vouchers for the book group books.

I work in Hoddesdon three days a week so if book group met on Tuesday or WEdnesday nights I could probably make it most of the time.

Let us know if you start one up.

I think I'll look into that book group at Borders in Watford. It's only up the road from me and sounds really interesting. Shame a missed the 1st meeting with A Thousand Splendid Suns, that's one of my all time fave books!

I too may see if I can find out a bit more about this, as this is only about ten minutes away from me, it could be quite fun.

Heather did you manage to go to this in the end? If it's any good I might join you!
