Book Club 1
We meet on the fourth Wednesday of each month either at the The Cock, Stansted at 12.30pm or at a member's house at 2.30pm.
We discuss the book chosen for reading at the previous meeting, which each member brings with them to the meeting. At the end of the meeting the copies of the book are collected by the group leader and copies of the book for next month's reading and discussion are distributed to all those present. If any members are not present at the meeting, arrangements are made for collecting books and distributing books to them, if possible. It is the responsibility of the group leader to collect books and return them to the library. It is also the responsibility of each member to make this possible by handing books to the group leader.
Books are chosen by the members of the group and are borrowed from the library. The group leader makes a note of all recommendations. The group leader then requests the library to obtain the recommended books. If there are sufficient numbers of copies then the book is ordered. If not, then the group leader will inform the members that the book is unobtainable. It is the responsibility of the group leader to order and obtain library books for reading and discussion and to ask members for suggestions. All members, if present, contribute to the discussion of each book.
Group Leader: Jean Newson
