Book Circle

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.

Forthcoming dates and books (meeting 7.30pm at the Gate, Northwood):
Wednesday 16th January - ‘No Surrender’ by Constance Maud. Historical.
