Beginnings...

(here are some initial thoughts for forming our club)

 Write (intended!) then - so we like wine, we like cheese and we like books....

So some general event principles (for Club meetings):

-once every 2 months to coincide with partner work patterns (working or not);
-Friday, Saturday or Sunday evening
-Group must be in multiples of 3 (ie member total can be 3, 6, 9 etc because at least 3 people are needed to finish a bottle of wine and not get smashed.
-wine priced between $30-50, one in three people brings two bottles of the same wine, one we drink, the other gets stored for a few years?
-If we do above, will need to keep a record of wine tasting notes so that we can compare
-rotate the hosting and the tasks
-one person to bring cheese (something different and fancy), one person to bring wine, one person to host and/or one person to purchase books (don't know what happens with that chore if there's 6 people)
-Is the only restriction the price? Do we want to make only Australian wines, only boutique wineries, only SA wines, only reds? I'm not fussed meself.

Book selection principles:
I've made the general assumption that we would all read the same book but of course we could read different books and report on what we've read to the group... I prefer the former.

Here are some things to consider -

How do we choose a book?
How quickly should they be read? (ie one book a year? one book a month or per meeting?)
What genre? (ie non-fiction, fiction, popular, etc)
Only classics, only 100 great reads of all time, only penguin populars, only those out of copyright, only authors that are alive?
