We currently have 2 evening groups meeting each month on different days- A Monday evening and a Thursday evening. We meet each month to drink tea, eat cake, build friendships and of course, read books. Each meeting, one member presents 3 books to us that they have either read and loved, or want to read (or even ones they've hated but would be interested to see what we think!). We then take a vote and choose the one to read. This means we all are taken out of our comfort zone and read books that we may never choose ourselves! We are open to anyone in or around Ashford who wants to join us, and welcome all ages, both men and women! Contact us for more information. We meet at: Ashford, Kent, TN23 Accepting new members
