What we’re about
I would like to create a book club where you can enjoy reading a book and then discussing it informally, over a drink - tea, coffee or something stronger!
If you like to read and would like to share your thoughts with others, then this group is for you. I want this to be a book group for the members so books can be chosen by members and the discussions can be shaped as members would like. Nothing too heavy though! There will be a chance as well for some social networking time if you are interested but this of course is up to you.
The meetup fees are quite alot to run the group so I ask for a small contribution from each member to cover these costs. This needs paying by 01 Sep each year.
On line meetings so everyone is welcome no matter your location.
To cover the meetup fees members need to pay £3 annual fee due 01 September each year (or before signing up to your first meeting during the year). The link to pay is here. Please add your surname as reference.
