Book Club

http://matlockareau3a.org.uk/Groups/bookclub.html

Setting Up a Group. The Book Club of the Matlock Area U3A has been running successfully for several years. Our recent Member Survey indicated that many more members wished to take part and, as a consequence, two more groups have now been formed. The purpose of the groups is to read interesting books, decided upon by members, and then to discuss each book in the subsequent meeting. Meetings are held at members' homes and there is a nominal charge of 30p for tea / coffee and biscuits. By telephone on 01629.
