What they don't say
- The Bookclubs.com page the club links to was not read; the cadence is from the run of monthly dates on OutSavvy.
Every fact here was checked on 11 October 2026, against 2 sources. Training nights and fees change, so if something is out of date, tell us.
Hear when something new is added.
New clubs, changed training nights, and the occasional weekend. No more than that.
Or come and meet people all at once.
A weekend away with a group of gay men, and nothing to prove.
