Bristol

Short Story Group, Bedminster

What it is: We read a short story aloud around the group and discuss.

When it is: The first Monday of the month, 10 am to noon.

Where it is: Bedminster Library, Bedminster Parade (very near ASDA) in the room off the Reception Area on the ground floor. However do check before coming for the first time

Note: 2 hours parking is allowed at ASDA.

The library does not provide tea or coffee but there is a coffee shop opposite and the library is quite happy for us to bring a take away. The library is accessible by bus and if anyone has a bike they are happy for us to put them in the room for safe keeping.

We are using a variety of Irish writers from The Oxford Book of Irish Short Stories, edited by William Trevor and The Penguin Book of the British Short Story edited by Philip Hensher. This group is suitable for members who do not have enough time to read a whole book in a month plus ideal for members with sight problems.

For further information or to contact the Group Convenor, just click on the pigeon 'send a message' link, or see the latest Annual Bulletin or Newsletter.

Just turn up with card; Fully accessible room and toilets; Parking in ASDA carpark very close by, free for 2 hours; 5 mins to bus stop; Buses 75,76 and 90 stop very nearby, and number 24 not far away.
