Sign in to contactThe Lawns Book Club (Derby)
Book club
Meets at The Lawns Hotel on Run by Marianne Bamkin Library service We are a year old reading group, loosely attached to local libraries, where we source the books that we read. We meet monthly and gossip about about the books and what we like and dislike about them. Each member has a chance to choose a book for the others to read and we often share recommendations of books that we have read. We take an informal approach and have around 20 members so far, but not everyone manages to attend each session. We are entirely self running and democratic, with the emphasis on the enjoyment of books not on any academic analysis. We meet at a local hotel and restaurant, called \"The Lawns\" and have occassional \"outings\" to see films of the books we read. We meet at: 23 High St, Chellaston, Chellaston, Derby, DE73 6TB Accepting new members
