Book Group 3
Our Special Interest Book Groups are a great way to meet people and make new friends.
This group is now accepting new members. If you are interested in joining, please contact the convenor, using the bluebird icon on this page.
Day/Frequency of meeting: 2nd Monday of each month
Time: 2.00pm – 3.30pm
Venue: Wadhurst Library
Fee per meeting: £2.50 per person
Preferred method of communication: Email
Convenor responsibilities: The member who selected the book title for the month will act as the meeting convenor. One week before the meeting, he/she will email members with a reminder of the meeting date/time/venue and the title and author of the book. At the start of each meeting the convenor will give a short synopsis of the chosen book and their opinion about its relative strengths and weaknesses . Other members will then be invited to join in the open discussion. After the meeting, the convenor will email members with the title/author for the next month and who selected it.
Access to books: Members are responsible for acquiring their own copy of each book (potential sources are Barrett’s Book Shop, Wadhurst library, local charity shops, second-hand book shops such as those at Bayham Abbey, National Trust). Kindle versions from Amazon and used copies can also be bought online.
