📚 Book Club meets today!

If you've spent the last few weeks immersed in The Elements by John Boyne, we'd love to hear what you thought. If it's still sitting on your bedside table looking accusingly at you, you're welcome too!

One of the great things about Book Club is that it's as much about the conversation as it is about the book. There's no pressure and plenty of interesting perspectives, just come along to whichever session suits you best:

Our lunchtime discussion from 1 - 2pm
Or an evening chat from 6.30 –7.30pm

Whether you're a regular or joining us for the first time, we'd be delighted to see you.

Can't make it today? Drop us a message and we'll happily share what we're reading next - or even the full reading list for the rest of the year.
