GOLDTHORPEThe group meets in the Library, on the first Thursday of the month from 10.00 to 11.00 am, although it often runs on longer. Usually under ten members are present at any meeting, but this makes for an intimate and very sociable experience. Nevertheless, new members are always welcome. Tea and coffee is available.
Meetings usually start with a discussion of the book(s) agreed by members to have been read the previous month, although this could be a poem, or any kind of non-fiction, bu a novel is the norm.
All members are encouraged to have a say, but no one person 'holds forth' too long to the detriment of others. It does not matter whether a member has a serious point to make or whether a lighter note is sounded - the group has respect for every point of view and the style in which it is delivered.
Members then have the opportunity to discuss any other books they may have read during the previous month.
Other 'reading grou' activities may be introeduced - a quiz, a clip from a video, an internet item, even a piece of music if it enhances the moment, but everyone has an enjoyable session in one way or another.
The aim of the group is to promote the pleasure of reading so please join us if you share this goal and have the time to participate.
