| Join us
at the popular SBC Book Club. Enjoy lively discussions over a
drink or two. Whether you are an avid reader or would like to
read more, you'll love our relaxed group.
The book we'll
be talking about this month is The Forty Rules of Love
by Elif Shafak
"The story concerns Arthur, a
young boy suffering from cerebral palsy, abandoned in a grim
hospital in the north of England and subject to extreme cruelty
and neglect; Esther, a keenly intelligent teenager who also
suffers from CP but whose talents are recognised in these
enlightened days; and Daniel, an American computer-gaming
genius. They are linked by the Skallagrigg; whatever or whoever
it is will transform their lives. Esther sets out on a quest to
find the truth of the Skallagrigg, founded in the life and
experiences of Arthur. She encapsulates what she finds in a
tortuously complex computer game, knowing that the truth is
never likely to be uncovered. A man named Martin has heard the
word Skallagrigg from his senile grandmother and when he hears
of Skallagrigg the game, he is determined to solve it and
discover what it means..."
Light bar meals available (decide on the day).

HILLWALK - TYNIGHAME TO SEACLIFFE CIRCULAR, EAST LOTHIAN
Picture: From last year's East Lothian coastal walk
This is a low-level and easy walk. It's great if you'd
like to have a go but are unsure about tackling big hills.
We've been doing this walk for the last few years and it's always very
popular. Last year almost 30 people went. If one of your new year's
resolutions is to do more walking, this is a great way to start.
Practicalities
We'll be walking over lunch time so
bring a packed lunch and water with you.
You'll need good
walking boots, waterproof
clothing
and layers
as weather can be changeable.
Car share
We will be meeting outside The Dome (bar) in George Street on Sunday morning to arrange
car sharing. If you have a car please bring it as you can always leave
it at George Street
if there are too many cars. Parking in town is free on a Sunday.
Please note: This is an
informal arrangement and as such we can't guarantee a
lift as it depends on sufficient drivers.
Cost per car: The journey to East Lothian and
back from George St is approx 56 miles. At 22p per mile that is a total
of £12 per car. Your contribution is: £6 if 2 people in car, £4 if 3
people and £3 if 4 people. Please bring the right change if you can.
If you prefer you can meet us at Tyninghame Village Coffee Shop
at 10.15am.
