BOOKS A

Books A started in 1995 and celebrated ten years of the group in September 2005. To date 130 books by over 100 authors have been read and discussed. The programme for each year includes a diverse range of books including modern novels, classics, biographies, historical, travel and even a science fiction recently. The local library provides a wide range of sets of books which are available to loan for the period or we obtain our own copy of the month's choice.

Meetings are held at 2pm on the second Monday of the month at members' homes. We take it in turns to choose and introduce a book. Each member then gives their views and opinions of the book and a lively and stimulating discussion ensues. The meeting ends with tea and biscuits and a friendly chat. We contribute 30p each month towards host expenses and photocopying, etc. The December meeting includes a a buffet luncheon to which we all contribute a dish.

At present the group is full but anyone interested can be placed on a waiting list.
