The After Hours Book Club - Waihī Beach

This is our last club for the year! Come along to find your summer read and connect with your book friends before the busy season begins! THIS IS OUR LAST BOOK CLUB FOR THE YEAR! SO COME ALONG, FIND YOUR SUMMER READ AND CONNECT WITH YOUR BOOK-LOVING FRIENDS BEFORE THE BUSY SEASON BEGINS. OPEN TO ALL NEW AND EXISTING BOOK LOVERS! Kia ora! The After Hours Book Club is a free, open-door evening space for adult readers of all kinds right here in Waihī Beach. Whether you read one book a year or one a week, whether it's a library borrow, an audiobook, a Kindle, a dog-eared paperback, or fanfiction at midnight, you belong here. There are no rules about what counts as reading, and no judgement about what you love. Our sessions have honestly been such lovely nights, full of easy conversation, new friendships, and far too many book recommendations to keep track of. If you haven't made it along yet, this is a great month to start. The kitchen and bar will be open on the night, so come hungry (and thirsty), and help us support this wonderful local spot that has so generously offered their space for free. How the evening works: 6:00pm - Doors open. Grab a drink, find a table, and settle in. The table you choose will be your group for the evening, giving you a small, friendly circle of people to really get to know rather than getting lost in a big crowd. When you're all settled in, we then move to self-led activities and conversation at your table. No pressure, no performing, just good books and good company. 7:15pm - Close. If you're loving the conversation at your table, you're more than welcome to stay and keep chatting! The After Hours Book Club was created because books have a way of getting us through the hard times. I've been hearing over and over again how people are wanting more face to face connection, so I set up this little club. This is a space to celebrate your love for reading, to connect with other likeminded people, and to discover your next favourite read. Come in your PJs, your finery, your trackies, whatever feels comfortable. This is an after hours space, and it's yours. We meet on the 3rd Wednesday of every month at 6pm.
