DRAFT
SCHEDULE FOR WEEKLY DISCUSSIONS
Assuming people don’t vote to cease the weekly summary topics, this is how it might look for the weeks after our current schedule. Simon came up with a breakdown of books 1-3 that would take us up to the release of the movie. I’ve proposed a few sketch topics as well. In both cases, the schedule is dependent on the results of the poll - you may decide against continuing with the weekly topics.
If we go ahead we would need volunteers to write summaries, as before. It has been suggested that we might prepare very short summaries with a few questions to lead off the discussions, rather than the in-depth summaries we have been doing.
This is a draft and we’d welcome your suggestions.
Please e-mail neilward@dircon.co.uk with any comments.
(NB: I will not be able to respond until weekend of 24th/25th March)
Thanks!
Neil, Moderator Team
