Meetings usually last about an hour with the emphasis being on having fun and getting to read things that you might not normally read. Groups usually agree to read one book per month and then come together to talk about what they thought about it. It is not vital that you have read the current book in order to join in but if you do want to, copies of all books are available to borrow at your nearest library.

We look forward to seeing you!
