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!
Wednesday 30th July, 7pm: I, Julian by Claire Gilbert
Wednesday 27th August, 7pm: Raising Hare by Chloe Dalton; An account of Chloe finding a very young baby hare (leveret) and managing to raise the tiny creature without ‘taming’ it. Written recently and winning awards, it has also been serialised on radio 4. We expect it to be a very ‘good read’.
