Can anyone fill in the gaps?  We have taken off February for Boskone each year and August for Worldcon. This year fewer people will go to Worldcon, so we should think about August.

There is also an excellent BBC miniseries based on the book that we could watch at the clubhouse. It consists of 7 episodes, of about an hour's length each. One idea would be to watch the entire miniseries at a special media day held at the clubhouse. Another possibility is to break this up into two viewing sessions; either way, an open discussion group about the miniseries after viewing would be most welcome, if people are interested.
