1. How does the group decide the books they read for the year?
Each member suggests two books they would like to read. This happens once a year. A list will be compiled and each member will then vote for which book they prefer to read. The votes are compiled and voila!
2. How does the group schedule their meetings?
Depending on the Chapter, a schedule is created randomly after voting and after club meetings. Or they can be reoccurring meetings. Meetings are generally scheduled on weekday evenings which are approximately four to six weeks apart. Each member's suggested book will be placed on the schedule and they are expected to host the club meeting for that evening.
3. What is expected of the host?
Each member hosts a meal at their home, at their allotted scheduled meeting (around once a year). This is a simple meal, no need to go crazy! As well, we are not expected to provide alcohol (although this is up to you, of course). As well, we have another option to host at a coffee shop or perhaps at a restaurant.
4. What happens if we miss a meeting?
We expect absenteeism, however, if a member does not show up to three meetings in a row, they are removed from our mailing list. This also extends to non-participation in email (if information is requested).
5. How big is the club? Are there limited spaces?
The maximum amount of members per chapter is set between ten to twelve members, in order to have a good amount of participation. If you would like to join us, please contact us, and we will let you know if there is available space. We would be happy to have you!
6. Are there fees?
There is a one-time fee of $10 which helps with coordination efforts.
7. I'm not interested in this group, are there other resources where I can find another book club?
Here is a great resource of groups accepting members: http://www.canadianbookclubs.com/
