Our friendly, informal and relaxed group Book Club welcomes all to discuss a wide range of titles. It usually meets on the last Wednesday of the month, from 7pm-8pm. Held in the Choir Vestry, those attending vary. We welcome new folk to widen our discussions and bring new insights. Feel free to just turn up!
