We also go out for meals together; have a social at Christmas and other occasional social events.
We're currently closed to new members but we are happy to add names to the waiting list of prospective members. Please contact us via the group email if you are interested in reading a wide range of books – from graphic to classic – and regularly enjoy discussing books.
