Book Circle

Please note: sadly all church events are currently CANCELLED due to Corona Virus in the UK. 
​We will update you when anything changes again.
Do you like reading books? We have a Book Circle which meets about every 6 weeks or so. Very informal, usually with a meal too! Books and dates planned are below. We score books - quite a challenge when so many different views around the table! But good to have the debate.

Next meeting 7.30pm at The Gate, Northwood: 
Wednesday 25th March reading, ‘The Longest Farewell’  by Nula Suchet
Wednesday 29th April reading "Sugar Hall" by Tiffany Murray
