The craft and art of Jane Austen - Jane Austen Society of Australia, Sydney meeting, June 20, 2015, 2:00 pm

People are always unprepared for the size and scope of the Sydney Jane Austen Society meetings.

The Roseville Uniting Church hall is packed with at least 200 people every two months who come for friendship, a fascinating talk on some aspect of Austen, and a truly astounding afternoon tea - all for $4!

All are welcome - you don't need to be a member - but I advise you to come early because it fills right up. A few months ago I got there at 2.05 and I had to sit on the floor!

It really is tremendous fun, and it is so heartening to see literary societies in Sydney do so well. I think that such organisations do a lot to inspire people's creative lives, and I always encourage people to join (the Sydney Dickens Society is also a very well-attended and well-organised group that you should look into).

So the next JASA meeting is on June 20, 2015. It starts at 2 (on the dot!) and goes till 4. As well as a fascinating and in-depth talk there is also a really good book and gift stall offering all kinds of fascinating stuff for the Janeite. And even if you haven't read Austen in a while, why not come along and see for yourself this unexpected cultural phenomenon, lead by literary dynamo Susannah Fullerton (one of my own personal gurus).
