BOOKS A
Books A started in 1995 and
celebrated fifteen years of the group in September 2010. By then 167 books by over 140 authors have
been read and discussed. The programme
for each year includes a diverse range of books including modern novels, classics,
biographies, historical and travel books and even a science fiction
recently. This widens our knowledge of
authors and subjects. 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 2.30 pm
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.
