Lunch and/or Book Club - fancy a good read and lively chat about the book?

Why not join our Book Club and be introduced to new books, with a get together afterwards to discuss it frankly, love it or hate it, interesting or boring, good or bad?

If you don't want to join for the book club, just come along for the lunch beforehand (but please let me know which you are coming for so I can book accordingly).

Feel free to join us for a particular book or every book, but don't expect to like them all. That is part of the fun.

If you would like to suggest a book to be read please message me with the title and author.

Meetings will be held monthly at 14:00 hours, The next meeting will be at the Woodpecker in Waterlooville, I will be there for lunch from 13:00 hours if anyone wants to join me/us.
