If you're looking for a Book Club in the area, why not pop along on Saturday, October 10 to Library and join the book chat there. The first gathering, in September, clashed with the visit of Sam Maguire so the numbers were small. On September's theme (Love) there was chat about The Guernsey Literary & Potato Peel Society, as well as Land. The chat continued about many other boks, films, life, coffee and much more. This week sees the second meeting, and October's theme is The Natural World, which covers a multitude! Everyone welcome. Feel free to leave your name with Elizabeth at the library desk or phone 085 1754916 for further details.
