Read Me, B*Tch | Queer Book Club – Syd

Wednesday queer book club for LGBTQIA+ members – no finished-book credentials required.
Put the scrolling aside for a relaxed evening of book chat with fellow queer readers. We’ll settle in together, then talk through the reading and get to know each other along the way. A character’s terrible judgement is perfectly good conversation material.
Finished every page or still nursing chapter one? You’re welcome to share your take or just listen, with no quizzes or polished literary analysis expected. Spoilers may enter the chat, so consider your bookmark warned.
Most members come on their own, and you don’t need to know anyone before arriving. There’ll be a welcome to help you settle into the group, with no pressure to deliver an opening monologue.
Come solo. Come curious. Come exactly as you are.

⚠️ MEMBERS-ONLY REMINDER
Members-only, no plus ones.
RSVPs close 7 days before the event (unless otherwise specified) or when the event reaches capacity. This allows us to confirm bookings with venues, finalise numbers, and deliver the best possible experience for everyone attending.
Please note: The check-in window for all Sydney Gay Social Club events begins at the advertised event start time and remains open for 30 minutes after the event begins. Hosts are responsible for welcoming members, making introductions, and getting the event underway, so if you arrive significantly early or late they may not be available to check you in. Arriving within the check-in window helps ensure the best experience for both yourself and other members.
Your host’s contact number will be included in your event reminder email and should only be used on the day of the event if you need assistance locating the group or require support during the event. For all other enquiries, including bookings, cancellations, membership, or general support, please contact our Support Team via https://socialclubsupport.group/.
$10 no-show fee applies. If you can no longer attend, please cancel your RSVP so another member has the opportunity to join.
💸 GOOD TO KNOW
RSVPing to this event is free as part of your membership, however any food, drinks, tickets, activities, transport, or venue costs are paid directly by attendees unless otherwise specified. We organise the vibes – you cover what you order.
📸 PHOTOS & VIDEOS
Our hosts may capture photos and videos throughout the event for use on our social media, website, and promotional materials. If you’d prefer not to appear in any content, simply let your host know when you check in and we’ll happily accommodate this.
