Book club
The Radlett U3A Evening Book Club, organized by Yvonne Brown, consists of a group of "mature" people in the Hertfordshire County who have come together to share and discuss books. Our meetings are usually held at each others' houses, but recently we have had to switch to virtual interactions via Zoom due to the pandemic. Though the members of the book club were strangers before joining the group, through our discussions about literature, we have become close friends. We are having trouble accessing books from our local library, and hope to receive outside help in order to obtain literature that we can all afford. Our meeting place is 2 Manor Court, Common Lane, Radlett, Herts, WD78PU.
