The U3A Book Club has been meeting for 10 months with 14 members reading a variety of books chosen by the members. We have met each month and many of us have attended a book launch in Liverpool with Waterstones.
We are planning a weekend away later this year to visit the Hay-on-Wye Book Festival which will be open to all members – details to follow.
Watch this space for details of a new Book Club starting shortly …….
Due to high demand a second Book Club is being established, which means the waiting list will be reduced. Unfortunately only people already on the waiting will be invited to attend. However if you are interested in joining the Book Club please leave your name at the Theatre Desk.
The new Book Club will meet in on Friday 8th March at 10.30 am.
