Book circle 1
Book Circle 1
We meet soon after 10am for coffee on the 4th Monday of every month except August and December. At present we have 12 members and no vacancies.
At 10.30 the presenter for the month introduces their chosen book. There is complete freedom in book choice either fiction or non-fiction with no restrictions on length or genre. It is expected that all members will have read the book before the meeting. The wide range of authors & styles covered leads to stimulating discussions, sometimes changing opinions. We end at midday.
