Book club
Meets at The Crown Inn on Run by Nick Anderson Library service We are a mixed group who borrow our books from Cumbria Library Service, and meet about once a month, on a Wednesday evening, in a pub in our village.

Our discussions are not terribly highbrow, and our only rule is that if you are not enjoying that months book, please put it down and read something else - life is too short to read books that you are not enjoying.
