The centre runs an informal Book Club
which meets once a month and decides on
a book to be read. The book that has
been read is discussed by all those
attending the session for about an hour
and a quarter. Each member is encouraged
to express their views, feelings,
doubts, ask questions and make comments.
The members then continue to discuss the
book informally over a cup of tea,
coffee and dessert.
For participation, please contact:
