Book Circle 2
You must be a Member of Ealing u3a to take part in an Interest Group
CURRENT GROUP STATUS
The group meets on the 2nd Monday of every month from 11.00am at a member's house.
It is a democratic group. We decide the books to be read for 2 or 3 sessions in advance and a member undertakes to introduce the book and lead the discussion. A love of reading and a willingness to do some research on a particular book or author are the only requirements to join.
In March, the group is reading A Change of Climate by Hilary Mantel.
The group has recently had a new member so it is now full.
Convener: Wendy Wooldridge, tel - 020 8997 9622, or email through the blue bird, above
