BOOK CLUB
We have a thriving book-club, which meets in the coffee-lounge of the church, approximately once a month, to discuss a chosen book. At the meeting, we have a free and open discussion about the book selected for reading. Refreshments, wine and soft drinks, contributed by the members, are on offer to assist the discussion! Books are chosen randomly from proposals by members, and most are available to borrow via our group-library-membership.
There is no charge for membership; anyone with a love of books and reading is most welcome, and membership of the group is not limited to church-members. Everyone is welcome.
We do not exercise any restriction of the type of book selected; recent selections have been:
"The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas" by John Boyne
