Kibkom North Cyprus Forum

Yes, I know we are all going to meet up for a picnic, grub and a t-shirt, but would anyone be interested ina Literary Lunch at say, Jasmine Court Hotel, - great grub etc, with Soner sharing a little about his book (questions welcome!) and a book signing to go with it. Possibly a week after the picnic. Cost would be around 30 to 35tl - not yet finalised, and proceeds to NCCCT - who would be the organising body.
The Trust would be happy to book this, but a bit of feedback first from people would help. It will be hot - middle of July- but we could be inside with air con, or outside with Mr Sunshine - difficult for sound outside. But whatever KibKomers want.......................
Ideas please!

How long is Soner here for?

Hi Looseboots, will be in Cyprus from 6th July until 20th July - just 2 weeks unfortunately.

Would have been lovely to have met you but unfortunately will be UK from 13th June for quite some time (grandchild due) but hope you have a good turnout. A chance to 'put a face' to those we talk to on line.

Likewise, Soner - would have loved to have met up with you but back to UK 24 June. Hope it goes well and that you have a lot of support (which I'm sure you will).

Soner- Boy are you going to be busy!!. By the time you have visited all the family and everything else. You will need a real holiday. Look forward to meeting with you.

Rocking & JeanW, I wil be out there later in the year, maybe we can catch up then. Enjoy your summer...
Mel7348, not much family left in TRNC, all in UK. I really look forward to meeting up.

thanks to those who have explained that they won't be here, but I want to know if those who will would like a Literary Lunch I know that soner is terrified of it, but that is no reason tgo cancel it! come on guys and gals, watcha fink.

It's more than likely we will be in Cyprus ... and yes we'd like to attend ... we'll confirm or otherwise closer to the date.
Ian and Havva

Thanks Ian. and what about others. We need to have a bit of an idea before booking the hotel. here is no commitment at this stage, but just need an idea if there is enoughinterest to put the event on.

I think I can make it. Count me in.

So glad you can make it Soner, but it would be nothing without you! !!! But what I want to see if the Soner Fan Club in full operation, and they will get great grub, a chance to meet you, to buy the book if they haven't already got it, and a chance to meet each other, aqnd all for something like 35tl (not yet confirmed). sound good???

I'd love to have a liquid lunch with Soner, shame i fly out as you return. Perhaps we can frequent a few bars south london for a literary session

So Scarlets, are you a 'souf' Londoner? If so, from where?

Marion, a taff living in North Kent. Frequent many places across the south east and south london. Always available for a social especially when out in cyprus. shame i don't arrive till July 25 so will miss soner. Had a good slurp at the airline presentation at the mercure in april. How you managed to keep that apple on your plate going back to your table goodness knows. I setled for the beer and red wine!

Un o gymry??? dyna neis te! Ble yn Kent? Alan lived at bluebell Hill for 35 years' I used to live in Cudham , and cousins in Bromley, Beckenham and the like. As to the apple, yes, I did a good job with that didn't I? Thanks for noticing.
Oh and 25th July is my birthday, so a good day to come to the land of sunshine and sweat.

Count me in, Marion, soounds a great idea, but til actual date sorted cant confirm a solid "yes"

Scarlets give me a bell when in London.

thanks |Mamachina just trying to ascertain the viability of it, especially as it is for charity. I do know of a whole gorup of people NOT on KibKom who might be interested, buit trying to gauge an idea of numbers from here.

Still working on it!

Could someone please explain, who is Soner, what book and why literary lunch?

thanks

Hi Edi, I am Soner, who has written a book called: The GreenLine - Holiday in a Warzone - Cyprus 1974 http://www.thegreenline.co.uk and the lunch is to raise money for charity.

Thanks Soner, sounds a very interesting book, especially for people who live here. Best wishes for the lunch
