• Café Life is the Colony's main hangout, watering hole and meeting point.

    This is a place where you'll meet and make writing friends, and indulge in stratospherically-elevated wit or barometrically low humour.

    Some Colonists pop in religiously every day before or after work. Others we see here less regularly, but all are equally welcome. Two important grounds rules…

    • Don't give offence
    • Don't take offence

    We now allow political discussion, but strongly suggest it takes place in the Steam Room, which is a private sub-forum within Café Life. It’s only accessible to Full Members.

If you enjoy our monthly Book Club meetings (by Zoom, open to all members) then you might like to listen to a podcast we did some years ago -when podcasts were still young and non-corporate – called Burning Books.

It’s an unashamedly literate show that explores “great books; very good books in which there’s something to appreciate or admire; and books that are the opposite of all those things”.

I think you’ll find it interesting, and it may even suggest some new reading avenues for you.
