How Meetings Are Run

2. Raise your hand to speak.

Club Charter
1. We buy the book we’re reading, ideally in hard copy.
2. We read the book we are reading before we speak about the book we’re reading.
3. Everyone is invited to listen. But we encourage you to read the book we are reading.
4. For the open-minded. If you have highly critical views of the author, this is not for you.
