10.8 miles away in Oakland, CA40 ReadersMembers have suggested 2 Meetups.
This is a book club. It is also a support group. Our simple goal? Get through the 3000+ plus pages of "In Search of Lost Time" (Remembrance of Things Past) by Marcel Proust. I'm a practical reader; I know that I need a plan in order to have any hope of getting through a novel like this.

24.6 miles away in Novato, CA13 Wargamers
There are no upcoming Meetups.
I own several really great board games that I rarely get to play. Especially what would be classified as 2 player "War Games". I've been unable to find a group of wargamers in the North Bay, so I figured I would start my own group and see if there was any interest. There are other board game groups in the area for playing "Designer" and "Classic" games, so I'd like this group to focus on games classified as Historic or Fictional war games. Meetups at least once or twice a month, feel free to …
