St Florence > Home > Clubs & Societies > Book Club
We are an informal, friendly group without intellectual pretentions! We have a common love of reading and, as each member chooses titles for our list, the range of topics and authors is varied. We generally meet every month on the third Thursday at 3pm.
Our guidelines are as follows:-
*Books chosen for the list should be in print and so readily available.
*They should be in paperback and less than £10 and so within everyone's budget - hopefully, people will usually lend books to others if they have already finished reading their copy.
*The person who chooses the title holds the meeting in their home, but if that is not possible for whatever reason, then someone else will instead. Refreshments should be kept to tea/coffee and biscuits.
The whole point of our meetings is enjoyment, of our books, our opinions and each other.
If any of the above appeals to you why not give it a try, so far we haven’t scared anyone away! Contact anyone on the list of members and come along for the afternoon, don’t worry if you haven’t read the book, come along and try us out and decide if you want to join in next time.
