Join a baby/child-friendly Book Group - Newcastle/ Gateshead!

Hello! I've had this idea about forming a Baby Book Group in Newcastle/ Gateshead.

Basically it would be like a normal book group, where once a month you meet up to discuss a chosen book, but we could bring our babies/ children and discuss them too, if we feel like it. Or just fill our sleep-deprived bodies with coffee and remember the days when we had time to read books and have grown up conversations.

Would anyone else fancy this?

I have a 3 year-old and a 3 day-old. If everyone else had babies, I can appreciate it might be easier to do it when the 3 year-old is in nursery (mornings), but if others have older children too then we could make it the more the merrier and hope we get a word in edgeways. I guess we'd meet at each other's houses or somewhere central in Newcastle/ Gateshead.

(I've also posted about this on the Netmums Meet-a-Mum boards for Newcastle and Gateshead, if anyone goes on there.)

The next meeting is 1.45pm 9 November at the Sage. We are reading The Slap by Christos Tsiolkas.

Hope to see you there Smile

Oooh. Just seen this and I'm a little lost here! My 2 are at primary school but I wouldn't mind tagging along to something like this. I've tried the facebook link but can't get it to work.
What's happening with the group? Would I be able to join?
TIA
