Blackwood Book Club (Newport)

Book club

A monthly evening book group. We either meet up at a pub/venue or host at our homes and everyone brings a dish. We select books several months in advance so everyone has a chance to put requests in at the library/share books. Meetings are a mix of book discussion and getting to know each other. Goal is to have 10-12 regular members, currently we have ~8. Currently, members are women in their late 20s through mid 40s.
