It’s not crafty, but it’s definitely social! Our monthly book club is friendly and informal. If you love books and reading, come along!
We are a relaxed and easy going kind of group that meets from 6pm until 7pm on Monday evenings around once a month to discuss the chosen book whilst enjoying a cuppa and some biscuits.
Book your place online and then come along. All our books are chosen as a group and planned in advance.

Samantha Roberts (verified owner) –
This is such a good idea via Zoom meeting! Easy to talk online from home, as sometimes it is difficult to get out. It was nice to have a chat with like-minded people about books. Some of which I would not have chosen to read, but am glad that I did. Looking forward to our next session in July.
