The book group has been running since 2003. We meet roughly once a month, and usually read ten books in the course of a year. Most of them are fiction, mainly twentieth or twenty-first century works, but we have also chosen “classic” novels by Jane Austen, George Eliot, Charles Dickens and Thomas Hardy.
Meetings (on Mondays 1.45-2.45pm) are very informal and relaxed. The discussions are wide-ranging and opinions are rarely unanimous. Books and dates are generally chosen two months in advance so that there is plenty of time to obtain and read them.
New members are very welcome. The only requirement is that you read the book before each meeting. The Convenor of the group is John Long, who can be contacted on 226200.
