Book Group 1

Status:Active, full but can join waiting list
Leader:
When: On Monday afternoons 2:30 pm
Every 4th Monday of the month
Venue: Members Home

We meet in member's homes, taking it in turn to host each meeting wherever possible. We choose our books together by making suggestions at a group meeting and online using WhatsApp. We are mindful of choosing books that are available in paperback or on used book websites to reduce costs.

We also take turns in leading the meeting with some background about the author or other relevant material.

We therefore read a wide range of books, mainly novels, from Classics to modern best-sellers. We seem particularly to enjoy historical or overseas settings and this helps to expand our literary horizons as well as increase our collective general knowledge.

We don’t always love every book we read but we do enjoy each other’s company and always manage to have a lively discussion nonetheless!
