Hello everyone. I was really delighted to see that Canberra has its own BC group. I'm 'out of town' so things can get a bit isolated - no book clubs here...
Hi Chriss, Everyone seems to have gone a bit quiet. I hope we can get together sometime soon. I was wondering about Little Brussels in Kingston. Anyone? ... ...
Yess, welcome to Canberra. Plenty of good bookshops. Book Lore in Lyneham is an excellent used bookshop, and Paperchain in Manuka the pick of the independents....
Yes the Belgian Beer place in Jardine St opposite Green Square. I haven't been there, always think it looks nice. Would be great to catch up before you head...
Hey Peter - you should come and see how our bookshop in Curtin in coming along! We've almost completed our Cafe and the next step is to open our bar. Did you...

Hey ACT BCers - did we ever decide on where and when we will hold our meetings/chats now that Starbucks is no more? Maybe time for our intrepid moderators to...
Kingston sounds nice ... plenty of lovely cafes and nooks and crannies. I'll be absent for the next 4 months, as I've just signed a book contract with Wiley to...
Denise, that's wonderful. Puzzles for Dummies! Brilliant concept! I'll be leaving for Charleston early on Saturday 4th - I'd be keen on a meeting before then. ...
Congratulations Nisi - that's terrific news! Good luck with that deadline. Skyring - I guess we'd better make it a meet up this week then if we're going to...
Thanks everyone - yeah, Wiley has only relatively recently entered the puzzle book market. I was asked to be Technical Reviewer on an upcoming title earlier...
I can make it Friday. I know nothing of venues in Kingston (apart from the Black Swan cafe and it probably isn't there anymore) - where are we meeting? ...
I checked last week and all the coffee places are closed by 4pm. So that leaves - restaurants, Filthy McFaddens (is it likely to be crowded and busy on a...
Filthy's will probably be busy from about 6pm, as it's a non-PS pay week and it's usually busier then. Same with Little Brussels (aka the Belgian Beer Cafe). ...
All going well I hope to meet you all on Friday in Green Square. You'll have to wear a white carnation in your buttonhole or something, so I can recognise you!...
You could always come to a wonderful bookshop in the Curtin Shopping Centre and have a coffee! If you're there before 6pm it will stay open for as long as you...

I can vouch for Lawtons as a great bookshop. Pete ... -- Peter in Canberra...
Oh, forgot. I'm meeting Cari (SKingList) in New York, week after next. She passed through on her world tour of Australia in early 2006, IIRC, and won a lot of...
Oooh yes, I'd love to do that! Can we, huh? Can we? ... Antoinette On the needles at Unravelled Blog http://www.need2knit.blogspot.com Books liberated through...
Hi everyone, I suddenly find I have to be away from Thursday night - so enjoy the meetup. Skyring - have a great trip, as you always do - and let's hear from ...
I maybe should have hung around Green Square a bit longer, but was worried that I'd inadvertently gone to the wrong spot and was missing all the excitement. So...
Glad Beyond Q was so great. I waited from 5.25 until 5.55 in Green Square - slap bang in the middle and didn't see anyone. Couldn't afford much more time than...
Sorry I missed you. I've got spare Tim Tams for Cari. Or at least I hope I will. My luggage is in Singapore and I'm in London in a capsule hotel airing my...
Sorry I couldn't make it in the end, unravelled and skyring. We've had a family hospital thing going on and things have been hairy. On the bright side, I...
It's certainly handier for me, and I'd love to pay a visit. Curtin ok for other people? I know it's not at a bus interchange - is that important for people...
