Alas, football didn’t come home this summer, but the London Press Club went home in style on 11th September with the reincarnated networking nights at Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese in Fleet Street.

“We’ll be meeting on the second Tuesday of every month at 6pm in the Johnson Bar on the first floor. The beer is only £3.40 a pint! On 9th October our guest will be Rebecca Ley whose book ‘Sweet Fruit, Sour Land’ has enjoyed good reviews and has been shortlisted from over 140 books for The Guardian’s Not the Booker Prize award. On 13th November, Paul Thomas will be our guest. Paul has had an interesting career which started in journalism before becoming a global publicist and film maker. His book, titled ‘Changing Colours’, features Dracula’s legacy that haunts the 21st Century. Will good triumph over evil? We shall see!
“We all had such old-fashioned fun swapping stories of the past and present and even a few of the future in such a great venue, and look forward to seeing everyone again next month.”
