Clare (Berwick-on-Tweed)

Seeking a book club

Hi! I'm newly relocated to Berwick-Upon-Tweed and looking for some bookish pals. I write fiction (I'm not published) and particularly enjoy reading literary fiction (especially coming-of-age themes) and contemporary poetry / prose poetry.

Panenka

by Ronan Hession | Learn more and buy

This is such a tender book that has quite a simple storyline but reveals so much about its characters and the quirks of the human condition.

Mavis (Seahouses)

Seeking a book club

Middle aged woman, would like to read new literature and discuss and socialise with other readers. I like the classics, Dickins, Austin, Bronte and alot of children's classics too.

Carl (Prudhoe)

Seeking a gaming group

Have done a lot of RP over the years, Started back in (I think) 1988, 2nd Edition AD&D, Played so many games I couldn't list them all, but do prefer my older rulesets just because I'm so old now I find it a bit difficult to remember new rules (53 this year). I prefer Cthulhu (1920's) Cyberpunk, Shadowrun, Some White Wolf, AD&D obviously .. Not overly keen on the newer 3rd Edition+ as they're more just a TTRPG, I prefer imagination over setting mini's up on a board ... I've GM'd / DM'd for so many years I'd prefer to play now ... Oh also .. Myself and my wife are ASD, so it takes a bit for us to get comfortable with new people / groups ... Just thought I'd add that :D Now that we have Red October Games in Prudhoe, would be willing to meetup for RPG there! Myself and Wife.

Juhalo (Ashington)

I love reading and I want to read more in 2025 Also think I’d like to start a book club or join one near me I live in amble

B (Hexham)

Seeking a gaming group

I am a parent with a child off school looking for d&d face to face in Hexham for him. Ie to keep him off tech. I would be there in the background working ie not letting him meet a stranger! I’d pay like I would an online tutor if necessary… I just would like him to do some d&d face to face rather than tech online, pain means I have to keep his mind busy hence hard to find activities off line when I have to do some work myself. Day time ideal but release it may be evenings

Ben (Ashington)

Migrating from computer games into TTRPGs in pursuit of a more sociable hobby. Have a preference for well balanced gaming systems with deep Lore but happy to give anything a try.

Matthew (Alnwick)

Seeking a book club

Hi I'm Matthew and I live near Alnwick. I'm 25 and I've always loved reading. My favourite genres to read are Fantasy, Sci-Fi, Thriller, murder mystery and even some historical novels. I'm really interested in meeting other people with similar interests in books and to socialise with.

Dan (Hexham)

Seeking a gaming group

I've been a GM for almost 10 years digitally. Playing modern systems like 5E, pathfinder, blades in the dark, pbta, and fate. But my favourite systems are that in the osr sphere, I have a very strong pull to the older style of gaming what we see in OD&D and BX I currently use white box, shadowdark and knave as my main systems. I also do more than just fantasy games I'm known for running calls of Cuthulu and kids on bikes for time to time. I do run a small online community where I host games but I'm looking to find a strong offline group now.

Shania (Ashington)

Seeking a book club

I’m a 27 year old who’s favourite genres are fantasy, romance, thriller and most fiction written by Japanese authors (there’s just something about their writing style I just love). I’ve been living in Northumberland for over a year now after moving up from Hampshire, so my only friend at the moment is my boyfriend 🤣 I attended my first book club in Morpeth last month and would like to attend more, especially if there is one in Ashington!

Jeannie (Ashington)

Seeking a book club

I’m a 68 year old who needs to pick up a book and be so immersed in it that I can’t put it down. It would be fun to find out other people’s thoughts on the same book of choice

Teresa D (Hexham)

Seeking a book club

Over the last few years winding down at work and entering retirement I have enjoyed being part of 2 book groups. Have recently moved to the area I’m hoping to join a local group. I’ve found the staff at Hexham library very helpful, and the library itself a friendly place so feel confident that any book groups connected with the library will be good to join.

BethReadsBooks (Seahouses)

Seeking a book club

Hi! Looking for interest if I start a book club in Beadnell.. I'm 30 years old and love book clubs as they make me branch out of my comfort zone and try books I wouldn't normally pick up!

Diane H (Prudhoe)

Seeking a book club

I enjoy reading but go through phases of reading a lot for a while then nothing for a while. So I would like to read more consistently rather than binge reading. I just really enjoy a good story that can maybe inspire me to research on the theme. I am not keen on detective, fantasy or over girlie books. I am not really up on current popular fiction. I have recently revisited books, 'Riddley Walker' by Russell Hoban, which I read again as soon as I finished so that I could analyse it. 'Daughter of Fortune' by Isabel Allende, I enjoy a good picaresque saga. 'The Wasp Factory' by Iain Banks, probably my favourite author, although I can't get into his sci-fi. I would like to discover more current authors who have something to say and then have people to discuss it with, especially if I really enjoyed it and found it unusual. I am 53 and recently moved to Prudhoe and would like to meet new people.

Diane H recommends:

Riddley Walker

by Russell Hoban | Learn more and buy

Non sci-fi future setting. Culture and language is based on a destroyed, confused and jumbled up distant past. The new language and ideas of the characters soon become almost normal and very plausible. It's interesting to see what Hoban thinks will be remembered and important to a small community.

Shannon (Ashington)

Seeking a book club

I really enjoy fiction and romance but I've also been reading a lot of self help and improvement books recently. I would like to meet up every week or once every 2 weeks.
