anyone interested in a literary lunch with soner?

[Marions]

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?

[Soner]

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

[rocking]

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.

[JeanW]

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).

[Mel7348]

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.

[Soner]

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.

[Marions]

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.

[iancrumpy]

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

[Marions]

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.

[Soner]

I think I can make it. Count me in.

[Marions]

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???

[scarlets]

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

[Marions]

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

[scarlets]

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!

[Marions]

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.

[mamachina]

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

[Soner]

Scarlets give me a bell when in London.

[Marions]

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!

[Edi]

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

thanks

[Soner]

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.

[Edi]

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