Monash Clayton Chapter Enters The Ring

Where better to procrastinate with a great book?

Tough Guy Book Club is coming down to Monash University Clayton campus, to found our new Monash Clayton Chapter. Furthering our reach and building on the remarkable diversity in our ranks, our crew is chuffed to be welcoming Monash students to our first on-campus chapter.

To celebrate we are having a bit of a meet and greet to answer questions and get to know folks on March the 22nd at 7 pm down at their campus pub called the Sir John. If you’re in the area come down for a refreshing beverage and to meet some of our goons.

Either way, the Monash Clayton Chapter will get underway this March with the first full Chapter Meet being the 5th of April at 7 pm at the Sir John. The book we will be banging on about is the remarkable Beat classic On The Road by Jack Kerouac. It’s a book of roughnecks, roads and rye whiskey. It’s also excellent so grab a copy and get reading.

So long story short, the rules are the same, the books are the same, but oh, to be a fly on the wall with these blokes! We’re seriously looking forward to hearing some fresh perspectives in rowdy chats while paying student happy hour drink prices. See you there.

We'd also like to send a shout out to the great staff of Monash University for this opportunity.
